For starters here's one

I've got this one -- Mel Bay's Monroe Instrumentals-- it's not a huge book-- 25 songs, but it's got most of the big Monroe fiddle tunes you're looking for. I can't get anywhere near Bill's vocal range, so I've never looked for a book of Tabs for his vocal tunes.
There's a list of resources we developed long ago for Monroe found here. Some of those don't contain music but some do. Best suggestion is to look them over and decide which ones are for you. Some listed in that collection that have not been mentioned.
The one Keb mentioned I have and found useful.
The Carr one I felt was more 'in the style of' and I found it simpler than I wanted. Good, but not the exactly what Bill played it sounds like OP wants.
