Thanks for the detailed response, I think it was useful. It intrigued me enough to buy it (from Spirit Games) at least.

I must say, I’m rather disappointed with the lack of progress since 3rd. That’s right, I was using 3.0 before I bought this, that should emphasis how impressed it makes me.

The art work does add some value to it, so much as it’s useful to get a second perspective of what a given creature might look like. (Plus it’s much easier to take an entry seriously when it’s not drawn by Wayne "Bigfoot".)

The main advantage I see in it is that none of my players have seen the inside of the book, thus ensuring that they won’t ever again be able tell me what abilities my beasts do and don’t have. This is for the most part psychological as the majority of the entries don’t differ much from how they used to be.

My analogy
Don’t rush out to buy it just to bring your game up-to-date (unless money means nothing to you), but if you’re looking for your first bestiary I’d have to say this one’s the best anyone has to offer.
