Format:Hardcover
As far as I am concerned, this is the epitome of 4th edition. This book contains loads of game information, and is intended to actually be used at the gaming table, where a lot of extraneous information would just be confusing and time consuming. It does not give a lot of information about ecology or sociology. What it does give is easy-to-use, quickly readable game pieces. If this is what you want, the book rocks.

I recently bought this of ebay in the 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks) for £20 and I think this is a wonderful book that compliments the Dungeon Master's Guide: A 4th Edition Core Rulebook (D&d Core Rulebook) (Dungeons & Dragons) and the Player's Handbook: A 4th Edition Core Rulebook: 1 (D&d Core Rulebook) (Dungeons & Dragons).
maybe to your suprise after giving this book a 5-star rating, I wouldn't recommend it as sooner or later you will need to buy the other 2.If you already have the other 2 good for you, buy this now, but if you don't I would recomend getting the 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks), this is a truly remarkable set and stands out among the various versions and editions.
my personal favourite oponent is the kobold minion because it only has 1 hit point and that means you don't have to keep record.
one note i feel i must point out is that depending on the size of your group the scenarios can be murderous so you might want to relive your players of some difficulty by changing enemies or removing them.
this book is brilliant with good detail on all monsters and it's well indexed making it a brilliant buy and a deffinate 5-star product for and DM of player but I still recommend the 4th Edition Core Rulebook Gift Set (Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebooks).

Pretty good book, decent condition and will provide hours if not weeks of interesting reading.
Prompt delivery makes it higher by my standards as we are talking the christmas rush here so all in all not bad at all and I was more or less in the pathfinder camp for much of the time since 4e was announced.
A necessary addition if you want to run the game although if you want a taster take a look at the starter set but not if you to run the whole thing.
Take care and all the best!
