Will the Pathfinder Bestiary also be containing the monsters included in the books Classic Monsters Revisited, Dragons Revisited, and Dungeon Denizens Revisited?

Seeing as this will be the first showing of the monsters under the new PF rules (well, CoT will have their Bestiary section <G>), I think all those monsters will be presented. However, they will, as James has said on other threads, only have a maximum of one page of write up, which will mostly be the stat block goodness. The Revisited books gives us six full pages on each beasty, which they could not do in the PF Bestiary without also selling a forklift with it :)

Good news. You even psychically answered my follow-up question! (Which was: Will Paizo be selling forklifts with the Pathfinder Bestiary?) =)

Honestly though, I'm very psyched about the upcoming releases. I also hope that the Bestiary contains some stats for playable 'monster' races.

At the last count, I beleive they are talking 250 monsters, and around 300 pages or so. So, skinnier than the RPG rules (576), but we older gamers might need a forklift if we carry more than one of each of these! LOL! 1000 pages of Pathfinder rules goodness times two plus two more rules books -- eek! ... thank the gods I have a sturdy coffee table ;)
