I haven't used it in game yet, but it does have some good monsters and feels of higher quality than the original CC to me. Of thoseI guess I'll have to go with: Fiend Folio or Tome of Horrors.  I'd go to a shop where I could look at both and compare.Here is what I would really suggest:Lords of Darkness (has some cool organizations and tons of NPC stats).  I use it like a realms flavored version of the NPC tables of the DMG.  I guess for wilderness it would be a little more limited (malarites appear though).I would look at (because I don't have them): Silver Marches, Unapproachable East and Underdark.  The reviews say Unapproachable East has monsters (about 10-15), but I don't own any of these to comment.-E</blockquote>
