Yep. The 1e DMG is the only one where the layout is worse than the 5e DMG.

Well, the 1e DMG is so well-grooved in my brain that even today, I know where everything is.
I am sure that brainspace could have been better filled with almost anything else, yet I know that on my deathbed, the last two things I will remember, even after I have forgotten my own name, are that I hate Bards, and exactly where the item saving throw table is located.

Even with having a lot of experience using the 1e DMG as my DMG throughout both the 1e and 2e AD&D eras and having read it cover to cover, I often find it hard to find stuff that I remember being in there. Its index sometimes helps, the PDF bookmarks sometimes help, and Control F sometimes helps, but I often have to hunt.
After a bit of use, the DMG’s binding guided itself toward opening to the key pages.

I slowly destroyed my original ones.
My later replacements are in excellent condition.
Welp, they were much better than Unearthed Arcana.
The binding for UA was made by the people who brought you Mission Impossible, and were guaranteed to self-destruct within the year.
Strangely, though all my friends’ UA’s seemed to have terrible bindings, the only problem with my original Unearthed Arcana was that some idiot did a bad job gluing in all those errata bits over the original text.
And cut up pages of my Dragon Magazine to do so.
