Thats sounds like some manuals I have.

Yep, missed that too.  Indeed, that would be a good solution.

Long ago, in a land far, far away I ripped such manuals apart to its 
individual pages, perforated them and put the ones that where for my device 
and configuration thereof in a binder.

I found that putting page-markers in (a kind of plastic post-its that stick 
out over the page) on the most-used and/or repeat subjects also helped quite 
a bit in that regard.
