Would you spend $100 for a monster book?

Possibly. I've got a number of roughly $30 cover price monster books that are about 250 pages or so each. So four of them would equal the 1,000 pages and save $20 cover price. I keep getting monster books so the enough category is not for me, I have plenty but would love more. And I generally like the Mongoose monsters I have from their books and a bunch of their art.
However I bought most of my books used or at significant discounts. On top of that I am no longer buying physical books, just pdfs for game books and mongoose provides less discount on their pdfs than amazon does for physical ones which means there are still a ton of other pdf monster books that are better deals for me to get, and that I want. So I have a ton of pdfs to get cheaper first before this one will come up, but I might get it eventually.

nope
I would only buy it if it was my dream Monster Manual - ca 800 pages and included all the classic monsters from 1e updated to 3e, with _encounter tables_, quick treasure tables, and a huge section for Men with loads of typical human encounters - knights, patrols, merchants, bandits - with sample NPCs. I'm not interested in crappy new monsters that are just variations on existing themes, or tomes full of weird aberrations I'll never use. Any new monsters should have a classic feel, drawing from myth & literature.

Nope, would never purchase it. I've long since lost interest in monster books. (And while I'm a huge Necromancer Games fan, even ToH2 and ToH3 are being ignored by me.)
(Though a $100 price tag doesn't scare me - I'm happy to purchase things like the World's Largest Dungeon and World's Largest City. But these days, I pretty much only care about location-based game materials.)
