There are monsters on each side of the page in both Volume One and Volume Two of the Monstrous Compendium. The first two volumes were designed so that, when combined, you'd have an alphabetically sorted set of monsters. However, starting from Volume Three there were pages that didn't fit into this pattern, for example, the Maedar/Meazel sheet could not be correctly sorted given the Manticore/Medusa sheet from Volume One. Almost as annoying was the fact that some of the sub-category pages didn't retain the main monster name in the heading, so the sheets for Volume Three go: Death, Crimson Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Allosaurus to Archelon Brachiosaurus to Camptosaurus ... Teratosaurus to Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dinosaurs Dracolich Pulling those off the shelf to investigate has set off my eye-twitch; it's just as annoying now as it was 36 years ago <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
