I think you have a fine point there Paradigm, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with running a game that way at all. Even just having the stat blocks for an encounter ready in a document rather than waiting for the players to start a fight before prepping those, or a few notes on what events a certain conversation or action might lead to down the line. I'm interested to know what kind of monsters it deals with primarily. Ptolus is unwieldy in that format but it is useable, and City State and Guide to Korvasa are small enough that you could feasibly print out the sections you need and put them in a binder.
