I have no hesitation in recommending this book. Production values are extremely high as is the quality of the content. I had seen one on the preview page for the Alseid, but it looks like it was cut from the final book.ДЄnother minor quibble: some of the beast type monsters with really minimal intelligence are listed as neutral (ex: bone crab, carrion beetle) They should probably be unaligned since they donвЂ™t have the mental capacity to choose between good and evil or law and chaos. I was a little disappointed to not find any this-monster-as-player-race sidebars. I hope Kobold Press considers a 5E version of the existing Midgard campaign setting. These are small and unobtrusive if youвЂ™re not interested, but reading a couple of them actually made me want to learn more about Midgard. If youвЂ™re playing in the Midgard setting there are sidebars how some of the monsters fit into that setting. ItвЂ™s not as in-depth as the Monster Manual, but thereвЂ™s certainly enough to run a monster in-game or get a feel for its disposition. Each monster has a written description and a few miscellaneous factoids about it. The stuff in here will provide a good challenge for adventurers of all skill levels No punches were pulled in handing out the hero-thrashing abilities for the Tome. I thought a lot of the monster abilities were really creative and interesting (Ex: the Idolic Deity is a small construct that can cause clerics and paladins to doubt their faith.) My overall impression is that quite a few of these horrors are lethal. If you want wicked fey for your game look no further.Д¬Rs are a good mix with maybe slightly more focus on mid & high level monsters than lower level ones. ThereвЂ™s the old standby dragons, giants and golems that appear in almost every RPG monster book ever, but there are also plenty of new stuff in here too, especially fey. The monsters hail from a wide-variety of folklore and backgrounds making it easy to find one that will thematically fit into nearly any adventure. (These are less visible in the pdf, but are quite striking in the print version.) There are faint images of the monsters in the background of the pages which actually look really cool.

The layout and text are clean and easy to read stat blocks are a near-perfect match to the Monster Manual format which is good.

The artwork is plentiful and professionally done every monster is in full glorious/gruesome color.

Other than the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, this it the largest book on my gaming shelf. The book is 432 pages and is close to 1.5вЂі thick. Printed colors are bright and vibrant, although some of the darker pictures lose a bit of detail when compared with the pdf. This adds a bit to the bookвЂ™s overall weight and thickness, but it also feels really durable.

The pages are the same thick matte stock as Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat. I received my physical copy of the Tome of Beasts today and IвЂ™m really happy with it.
