Collectors arcana: The interior still lists Dave Sutherland as cover artist. This is incorrect, the cover of the orange spine version of Monster Manual is an Easley. This item was not released in shrink wrap.

"'this is the original source used by Dungeon Masters and players to create challenges and combat scenarios'

Within the covers of this book lurk the monsters that made the AD&D™ game famous. Elves, dwarves, dragons, orcs, ghosts and werewolves come to life as you read their detailed descriptions. In fact, each individual listing has all the necessary informationto perform special attacks, defenses and magical resistance.
No adventurer can be without it!"
