The Monsters of Sin series for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game—collected at last!
Heroes, beware the temptation of sin, for the smallest weakness can humble the mighty.
Only seven sins are vile enough to be called deadly. Each spawns unique and startling monsters in this volume, including:
Avarice—the hoard golem and bone swarm, dark things that glorify wealth;
Envy—the poison of jealousy and desire for the unearned;
Gluttony—the bottomless pit that consumes and squanders;
Lust—the inbred orc and the lovelorn, horrors born from carnal desires;
Pride—the overindulgence of the abominable beauty and overconfidence;
Sloth—monsters that waste for nothing;
Wrath—raging creatures that destroy without thought!
The Collected Monsters of Sin for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game includes:
21 new monsters thematically tied to one of the seven deadly sins,
7 templates to bring that sin out in monsters and NPCs,
complete notes on using sin in any fantasy world,
7 Embodiments of Sin to challenge the greatest heroes!
The Collected Monsters of Sin is suitable for multiple levels of play and can be used in any existing setting and campaign, or combined to create a campaign of Sin. Go beyond ordinary monsters, and challenge your champions with threats to mind, body, and spirit.

Nice write-ups and plentiful variety of both CR's and monster types. The flavor is the focus, but crunch is all there too, with just a couple clunky but still useable special abilities.
The Embodiments of each Sin are a fantastic resource for when a party fails to stop or creates a giant mess of evil. You know, the times you just want to throw away the rulebook and cry.
If you're running any of the Runelord based APs, get this as a great supplement to swap out any repetitive encounters!
62 well written pages on the various sins. Nice templates for creating your own sinful creatures and good ideas. The monsters are very creative and each sin has a couple or more monsters distributed on different CRs.
Art and dtp is overall easy to read and nice. 1 or 2 more creatures in each sin category would raise the product to a 5-star IMHO, but a nice collection as it is.
The 'Sin' collection doesn't suck. Got a theme for a new adventure or AP? Pick through the corresponding sin theme and find interesting monsters and ideas. The art is also first rate which means you've got killer visuals you can copy and print as handouts for your gamers! James says, "Check it out!"
Will there be a similar compilation for the New Paths series?
And will the softcover be full color or b/w?
The PDF is full color, the softcover print edition has full color covers and BW interior pages.
A similar compilation for the New Paths series ... hmmm .... that *does* sound like a great idea, doesn't it?

While we're on this tangent: The New Paths collection is a great idea, but I have to point out that those are around 20 pages each, so that would be at least a 100-page volume, in color.
It's tougher (but not impossible) to get into print at a reasonable price.
Oh, and the Collected Monsters of Sin includes the compiled CR tables, as well, to make it a more useful reference tool.

So I bought all the original pdfs. I now have to buy them again to get the errata and a little bit of extra content?

Jadeite, that sounds like a great lead. Any idea where the POD was hosted?
The Spider, it depends. I'm hoping to replace the PDF bundle product with the Collected version here at Paizo, at Kobold Press, and at DriveThruRPG. I'm not sure whether the web gninja here can sort out who bought the whole series as they shipped; that's a little bit trickier. PM me with details, we'll sort it out.
