Does anyone know where I can get hold of an ultimate book of monsters?

Question

I want one as a christmas present and so need to put it on my list now, before I go to uni, but unless I can tell my parents where to get it from, I won't be receiving it.
By ultimate book of monsters, I don't mean some childish book, I mean something with really graphic pictures, maps of where these creatures can be found and detailed dietery requirements.
I've tried Amazon but they just seem to do kids stuff or else just focus on specific creatures. I'm after a wide variety all crammed into one book.
If anyone can help, please do. Titles of books, publishers and authors are all welcome as well as places that might sell a book like this, preferably places in the UK.

Thank you john b, but the search on their website gives pretty much the same results as Amazon. Thanks for trying though.
