Such as:Basic Book - The true core rules. The four basic classes (Fighter, Rogue, Cleric, Wizard), a selection of spells and monsters and magic items, and you're done.Advanced Classes - The rest of the classes we know, probably mixed with some of the more normal of the Complete Book classes.Classes II - The stranger stuff? Or maybe prestige classes, or whatever replaces them.Advanced Something or Other - More complex combat rulesAn advanced monster manual with all the customizing information, templates, and such, plus more monsters. There would be other books that break monsters out by type. I would not mind seeing all underdark and extraplanar monsters shuffled off to their own books. I strongly suspect that the majority of the major common creature types will wind up in their own books: dragons, undead, constructs, aquatic creatures, giants and monstrous humanoids. There would be a smattering of those, 1-3 representatives of each type, in the basic game.</blockquote>
