Volume 1 was a big three-ring binder with a bunch of pages, and then you bought expansions that were just loose leaves with holes punched. After people complained that this format sucked royally, TSR produced the Monstrous Manual, a more traditional hardcover. I haven't actually seen the 2E MM, so I don't know how the content was different (if at all) from the MC.I do recall that the Monstrous Compendium, for all its physical shortcomings, was absolutely fascinating reading. I eagerly awaited each new expansion, bought it as soon as I possibly could, and read the whole thing cover to cover (well, first page to last page). This was probably a contributing factor in the rapid disintegration of my MC.</blockquote>
