Would a MM like this interest anyone else?

[lord irial]

I would buy that much sooner than the MMII, though production quality would have to be good, too.

No, I wouldn't be interested - I've got enough monster books already. Besides, any monster that I even remotely care about from myth/legend/literature has already been put into D&D stats.

Come to think of it, I would even like to see most of the classic creatures from the Monster Manual re-done, like manticore, harpy, vampire, etc.

This sounds very much like the Medieval Bestiary for Ars Magica.

I have an older version of this and I'm pretty sure the graphics were woodcut-esq too.

 

[I'm A Banana]

I'd buy it, I'd write it, I'd edit it, I'd love it. As long as the monsters were actually fairly true to myth...
