I have I & II now. This follows the same format as 1 but has descriptions of each creature. The Art is still B&W. I have become very spoiled with all the colour WOTC puts in to its products. The Art is good for the most part. My other complaint is there are too many water creatures. I have been playing for 30 years now and have only met 1/2 dozen water creatures. I think they can just stop with them already. They are a waste of space.
The Big pluses are the Templates, new monster feats and some planar info on where some of these monsters might hail from. All in all the extra info makes up for the wasted space. Some of the Devils and Demons are cool as well as some new undead and some new SU/SA abilities.
I want to see more Epic level stuff.

Published by Necromancer Games, which promises 3rd edition playability with a 1st edition feel, this book delivers on almost all fronts. Even the art has a cast of the old Fiend Folio to it, though just updated enough to not seem out-of-place or old-fashioned subsequent to it's contemporaries.
The monsters all fit cozily into various niches of various kinds of campaigns. Really, there were very few monsters where I thought, "Where the heck would you even meet up with something like that?", and in most cases where the ecology wasn't clear, the critter was undead or an elemental, both monster types that don't necessarily mesh realistically into a campaign world.
The write-ups were clear and concise and, for the most part, accurate. It wasn't perfect, though, and so it doesn't get five stars. It'd get four-and-a-half if I could swing it, but . . .
DMs, buy this book. Surprise your players with brand-new monsters that feel like you've met them before. Highly recommended.
