[edit] TSR 2001 - Dungeons & Dragons - Basic Rulebook (1977)
The Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rulebook was printed in 1977, as the initial book for the basic Dungeons & Dragons game, and was based upon the original work published in 1974 and three of the supplementary booklets to the original set. Much like the first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, also printed in 1977, this book collected many of the monsters from the previous D&D supplements, and included the stat lines on the same page as the monsters' descriptions. The monster descriptions are found on pages 22-33 of the book. Most descriptions do not feature illustrations.

The Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia was published in 1991.

Chapter 14 of the book, pages 152-218, presents most of the monsters used in the basic D&D game once again. Several pages of that chapter describe how to use the statistics, as well as providing suggestions on how to use the monsters. The actual monster descriptions are found on pages 156-213 of the book.
