Obviously I'm picky, but these books aren't cheap.  I want my money's worth when I buy something, and I don't want something that's tossed together with no thought or effort.  Many of these stupid monsters wouldn't even get a second thought if made by non-WotC companies.  That's why I like the Creature Collections  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
