"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Monstrous Manual (1993)

From the back cover:

Need a monster? Look inside, where more than 300 new pieces of full color art show what the monsters really look like!

This book contains more than 600 monsters, including all the creatures from the MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM(TM) Volumes 1 and 2! In addition, there are monsters from the other MONSTROUS COMPENDIUM Volumes, and some creatures never seen in the second edition AD&D(R) Game before.

Entries have been reorganized, corrected, updated, and fully cross-referenced, to make this the most valuable monster reference ever!

 

As an aside...next to the original 1e Monster Manual this may be my favorite Monster Manual offering
