Game Manuals, Books & Other Documentation
An incomplete collection of decades old Japanese and English out of print documentation, source books and other stuff for Monster Rancher.
It should be noted that printed guides can have errors, or outright completely incorrect information. This isn't uncommon for a pre-release print magazine or manual and because of the nature of print, could not be corrected without a reprint which probably didn't happen.
The printed guides here are for preservation and ease of access to original material. Some of these are already on Archive.org and others may be added to it.
