I'd guess they'll offer a combo once Paizo has the PDF available; I pre-ordered it from Frog God directly and got both :)
Edit: Though I think the Frog God folks ought to get some pointers from Paizo; their PDFs are kinda slow in comparison.
In the past, Frog God has granted PDFs to those that have bought the print edition. The final decision rests with them. :)
Oooh, PDF now available. :D
I love the Crimson Death being in this! Since when D&D made it lose the copyright? Awesome picture too.
The creatures I don't like are mostly creatures with Ghoul, Greater, Lesser or Shadow put behind or before them, ghoul ape, ghoul rat ect ect.
Anyone mind sharing what the players races are and what they're like? Do they have that weird "two levels of monstrous humanoid" thing that some of the races from "TOH Complete" did?

This is exactly why I won't buy anything else from them. I'm blind and have to use the accessibility functions of Adobe Reader, so sometimes their PDF's won't even open at all for me. Which is down right annoying when you spend good money on something that doesn't work. So I'm done.
Seconding what James said.
I do actually have Tome of Horrors Complete and it's great, but what's in this book? I know it's full color, but what kind of creatures are there?

The new O HD races are the
Sciuran (Squirrel-folk)
Talorani (aquatic humanoids that are descendents of merfolk and sea elves)
Xothotak (Jungle dwelling cannibalistic pygmies)
Kthulhu has the list of monsters; it's a pretty even mix of all the regular types (oozes, undead, vermin, etc).
The pdf is a pretty good value for the number of monsters you get. My biggest problem is that a large chunk of those monsters seem rather repetitive and generic, and some would be just better as templates. Reading through the book there were far fewer monsters that grabbed me and made me want to use them, when compared to the Tome of Horrors complete (Which granted has the benefit of being a much larger book with monsters invented over a larger time period).
Also I would perhaps say that emphasizing the book being in color wasn't a great idea. There is only one illustrator for the book, and while some monsters look awesome, his style is repetitive, which doesn't help the generic feel of some creatures. On top of that, some of the artwork in the book is arguably worse than Tome of Horrors Complete, and the repetitive use of some color schemes (Dark Blue shading to purple specifically) doesn't help. Higher quality black and white artwork would have been a better investment.
I just purchased it... OMG the colors ^_^
I love the green sheen of this book. Quality product inside and out!
