I'm not much of a DM myself, but it is cool to see what the role originated with. (

A vast reference of all sorts of things related to AD&D, including many things a DM should know to run a game. By far the best DMG of all D&D editions. (

This is [i]the [/i]must have for Dungeon Masters and those who wish to the art of Dungeons & Dragons. Of course, I got this one after my old one just fell apart after years of use and abuse. If ya' gotta' know, this is the book. (
