D&D 2024 5.5e Monster Manual - very nicely produced and published - nice book

Amazingly well produced and published D&D book. Top quality production and content. Bought it to supplement my D&D 2014 5e Monster Manual. Nice to have. Will get D&D Beyond digital copy as my group runs most games in D&D Beyond. We run D&D Beyond games in person on a tabletop not remotely and find D&D Beyond is handy with everyone bringing a laptop or a tablet to play. Still like the D&D books in case of any D&D Beyond online outage/service loss.
