Making the guidebook really useful is something that has been mentioned quite often in the forum, @Trevor19, but the forum is not where changes get made. I took a look in Host Voice (under Discuss at the top of this page), and found a few entries for "guidebook", but nothing getting much traction in the way of thumbs up and comments. Nothing that is clearly saying "make it useful!"
So if you feel strongly about this, take it there and see what happens. I agree with you. I would love to see the guidebook work well. I would love not to have to heavily reformat it to print it for my binder. It isn't high priority for me, but it would make things easier, would help out the local businesses here, etc.
So I will happily give your post a thumbs up in Host Voice, where, hopefully, it will make a difference!
