I was working in distribution when the "Monstrous Compendium" line launched, 
and I asked the sales guy at TSR (I forgot the name) about that goofy name. 
He told me that they felt that it was more "trademarkable" than "Monster 
Manual."  Which I had to agree with.  But that's, of course, anecdotal and 
certainly not something that will keep you out of court.
