If you put all my monster books together...

Not that I have that many - only 3, but I've found I only use the MM. I try to find monster's from my other books, but for some reason the only ones appropriate for the adventure I'm running are in the MM.
Go figure.
Go figure.
I've got about 9 monster books at present (more if I count the Deadlands D20 stuff), and about half of them see regular use. The rest are for "special" occasions. (Those being the Green Ronin fiend books and CC2). My MM 1 and 2, along with the Tome of Horrors and Monsters of Faerun are pretty much staples for my campaign.

Monster Manual
Monster Manual II
Fiend Folio
Monsters of Faerun
Tome of Horrors
Minions
Necromantic Lore
CCIr and CCII will eventually be added to my shelf.
And there's a bunch of monsters in other books, of course...
But since I use modules mostly, I rarely use monsters in most of those books. However, when I do side quests, I use monsters from all of them. Too bad there wasn't a catalogue of monsters by type, CR, etc. to help find what you're looking for in a particular encounter....

In % of thing potentially usable (it does exist in the campaign, but it's unlikely we'll use it), I would say around 60-70%.

LOL
Maybe the humans can wear cool hats so they'll be easier to roleplay...
(That's what we do. It's all about the hats and footwear...
