How much overlap exists between these two books if any?

I just received Monsters and Treasures of Aihrde in the mail today, but on a real quick flip-through of the book: there is very little, if any overlap.
I think I saw a few "duplicate" entries for humanoids such as dwarves, elves, and halflings; but it loooks like even those are different than the ones listed in Creatures and Treasures.
M&T:A looks to be full of unique monsters you won't find anywhere else, even other editions of The Game's Monster Manuals.
Very happy with my purchase!

M&T of A is a great book. If you look at the equipment section of the phb, you'll find a listing for a "walrus". 350 gp. M&T of A features the stats for the aforementioned beast. Certainly a staple of fantasy gaming!

I didn't think there was any overlap, honestly. I looked through half of both ToC's and the only think that was similar was the eagle. But one's a giant version and the other is a normal sized one. I think I'm safe to say that there is no overlap between the two.

Overlap? None. The original M&T is your standard, generic heroic fantasy monster guide. M&T of Aihrde is all about monsters (and treasure) specific to the Aihrde setting, though of course they can be adapted or dropped into any appropriate fantasy world.

Yeah, I don't recall any over lap of any kind between any of the monster books.

Yeah, it being only ten bucks made it looke tempting. Though I think I settled on "Of Gods and Monsters" for the same price. There is a pretty decent chance I might be getting Classic Monsters as a gift... if not I think ill have to grab that after the holidays. Then ill have enough bestiaries for the time being.
