Are we SURE there's only six chapters? I know only six are PICTURED in the Fantasy Grounds preview, but there was supposed to be a DM's guide to the Planes and a description of a "certain extraplanar city"... Maybe these are in a seventh chapter after the Bestiary... or have they been dropped to go in another book?
If there IS another chapter, the Bestiary might not be as long as people think... and the text in the Bestiary section pictured in the Fantasy Grounds preview says "over 100" new monsters, which fits better with 130+, not 200+...
I believe that "a certain extraplanar city" was coming up in an unspecified future product, and not to MToF specfically.
The description on the Roll20 page for the book states "over 230 new monsters": https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/compendiumexpansion/4/mordenkainens-tome-of-foes. Granted, they do tend to have more monsters than the actual stat blocks due to variants, but it shouldn't be excessively lower than that.
Also, as I mentioned in a few posts up, the book is only in the "D" section when it gets to Moloch on pages 176 - 177 (and the "D" is visible towards the bottom of the pages). If it's taken the book 60 pages to just go from "A" to "D" (as the Astral Dreadnought is on page 117), then filling up the remaining 90 pages or so going from "D" to "Z" doesn't seem unreasonable; actually it makes it somewhat unlikely, in my opinion, that there will be significantly fewer pages in the bestiary. Remember that a lot of the monsters that are the focus of the book, such as duergar, drow, both races of gith, and the yugoloths, will be in that section, and all likely taking up some significant page count...
