I never had a printed copy of the GGB, just a digital.
My experience was different from yours. My band had an extensive playlist of tunes that we knew, so we rarely used books on gigs. If there was something we didn't all know, at least one of the musicians usually did and we'd play off him.
The only exception was for requests for things none of us knew — like movie themes, pop tunes, and other non-standards — which the client was required to ask for in advance, and for which I would make charts.
Cheers,
