Yes, that's the trick. It should pretty much be a book you are reading from start to finish. The way I get around that is with lots of notes. Next to my notes I jot down page numbers for everything. Then it is easy to flip back and forth. It works very well actually.

Oh, I also use a lot of 3x5 cards for formulas, methods, tables, definitions and shorter proofs. I jot the book and page number on these also. It is basically "active" reading - very important for learning math.
