Bestiary of the Hyborian Age - worthwhile?

Title says it all - I'm considering buying the Bestiary but am reticent to buy another monster book (3.x Edition burnout). Is it suitably tailored to Conan? More than just a list of stats?

Any comments welcomed :)
 
I liked it. I used it last sunday in my game, when my players found themselves rummaging through the remains of some dark, damp fortress.

They found some criss-crossing corridors, and wound up taking on 79 children of the night.

Most of them got out of there with single-digit HP. The others were dragged out. They burned the whole damn thing down and left on horseback.

Loving good fun. :)
 
If you haven't collected most of the Conan books, this is a great way to have a large amount of "Hyborian" critters at your disposal. And more importantly its part of the doomed Conan line.
If you don't mind "D&D" monsters you wont need it that much. My biased opinion is even though most of it is reprinted from all the prior Conan line its still a great book to have in your collection.
