I bought the $10 pdfs for the Pathfinder bestiaries and have not splurged on the $40 hardcopies. I own many, many pdfs of pathfinder monster collections. I use the srds a lot, I'm more likely to browse or sit down and read my hardcopies but I get a lot of use out of my pdfs and a ton out of the srds.I don't buy and didn't generally buy the latest monster manuals in hardcopy, I generally get them years later for good deals. In 3e I didn't buy the WotC monster manuals until years after publication, but I now own a complete set of MM I-V plus FF and Monsters of Faerun. I've had plenty of fantastic d20 monster books for years that I still use for pathfinder games (Creature Collections, Monster Geographica, Tome of Horrors) and I'm still interested in eventually getting monster books I don't have.At the pathfinder games I run if I didn't prep a monster it is nice to have someone else's bestiary on hand but it is also nice to be able to ask the host player to print off stats for a gray ooze when I need one.It is really nice that Pathfinder put more than the bestiary I up, and it is absolutely fantastic that d20 pfsrd puts up so much stuff.</blockquote>
