I bought Volo's Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes on D&D Beyond ages ago. I was just looking over My Library, and neither of those books is marked as purchased. However, several other books that I have not purchased are marked as purchased: The Vecna Dossier, Spelljammer Academy, Thieves' Gallery, Giants of the Star Forge and Borderlands Quest: Goblin Trouble. What's up with that?
ETA: I do seem to be able to access monster stat blocks from Volo's and Mordenkainen's if I search for them, but not from the tables of contents.

The things you've listed as things you haven't purchased are all free things that are available to everyone. Things like that do show up as "purchased" even if no money changed hands. It should probably say something more like "owned", but it's correct.
As for the other two, is it stopping you from accessing them?

No, they're not. But they should be, because I've owned them and been using them for years. And today I just discovered that I can't get at them via direct URL or the search bar anymore, either.

ModeratorIf it’s not listed in Current Product Licenses but you can access the book anyway, the most likely explanation is that it’s being shared through one of your campaigns instead.
Just to be sure, though, is it listed here in your order history?

No, not listed in my order history. I could have sworn I'd bought them at some point—I did buy Monsters of the Multiverse, but I've been looking at both the Legacy and Multiverse versions of monsters (and comparing them) on D&D Beyond for several years now.
I've wondered whether perhaps, since WotC has deprecated them, the fact that I recently allowed my D&D Beyond subscription to lapse somehow detached them from my account.

ModeratorAgain, the more likely explanation is that it's being shared through one of the campaigns you're in. If you go to My Campaigns, do any of them say "Content Sharing Enabled"? Has someone in one of those campaigns purchased those books? If so, that's why you have access to it.
