Common
Dwarves, elves, skeletons, trolls. All are very common in most fantasy games, so they won't excite most players.

Explains the purpose of each monster
Instead of simply offering examples, the book explores the reasons why certain types of monsters came into existence throughout history.

Is not tailored for this purpose
You will have much better luck in looking at bestiaries or specialized fantasy, folklore or mythology dictionaries.

Great for "generic" lore
If common fantasy creatures are what you are looking for, you won't need 2 pages full of lore for each creature.

You'll end up finding D&D lore in the end
Generally you'll find the Dungeons & dragons creature lore when browsing wikipedia. Undead, fey, demons etc. And you won't get as many details as from the actual D&D lore books.

Have to know what you are looking for
It's hard to find something new, when you don't know what it is called.
