The core books: Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monstrous Compendium were all published in 1989 (February, May, and June, with MC2 in August). The Monstrous Manual was a reprint of earlier releases, bringing the loose-leaf MC1+2 as well as some of the greater hits from other MCs into a hardback format, but the core product was originally the Monstrous Compendium.Other books released within a year of the 2e PHB were:Complete Fighter's HandbookComplete Thief's HandbookCharacter SheetsDM ScreenTime of the Dragon (DL boxed set)In Search of DragonsDragon KeepDragon MagicThe World of Krynn Trail MapForgotten Realms AdventuresMC3: Forgotten RealmsDreams of the Red WizardsHall of HeroesCities of MysteryThe Bloodstone LandsCurse of the Azure BondsShadowdaleTantrasWaterdeepGateway to Raven's Bluff, the Living CityMad Monkey vs the Dragon ClawThe City of GreyhawkFate of IstusGargoyleChild's PlayPuppetsVale of the MageTest of the SamuraiKara-Tur Trail MapSpelljammer: Adventures in SpaceWildspaceThat's a total of 35 products released between February 1989 and January 1990. These include two setting-defining boxed sets, and one hardback updating another to the new edition. With 5e, we've had maybe a dozen, counting accessories (which I did above, to be fair).</blockquote>
