Well organized guide with plenty of options for every DM style, and lots of lovely tables and creation guides to build anything and everything you might want to.
What can I say? It's the Dungeon Master's Guide to D&D 5e. It has lots of extra guidance for DMs that enhance the game. A common misconception that new DMs make is that this book is essential to running the game. Not true, all you really need is the basic rules (a free download) or the Player's Handbook (well worth it). These contain all the rules and knowledge to play D&D.
Having said that the Dungeon Master's Guide is very helpful for creating adventures, designing dungeons, planning the plot, developing NPCs and so on. The tables provided to cover all kinds of game elements that are useful and practical.
If you need to buy D&D books to DM my advice is, start with the Players Handbook, Monster Manual and a published adventure. Then, once you've run some games get the DMG and you'll find it more helpful for the finer points of the game.

It says the author of the DMG is Mike Mearls.
Didn't he get canned from the whole D+D division and shuffled off to Magic: The Gathering for some reason? Gee, I wonder what happened there.

A good resource for Dungeon Masters trying to hone their Dungeons and Dragons craft. However, some of the organization is unintuitive and similar to other 5th edition books you find yourself flipping back and forth to find what you need. Additionally, much the book is not beginner friendly and assumes a lot of prior knowledge or familiarity with the topic.

It fulfils it's function as it should. This book adds a lot of tips for beginning DM, and lists some additional mechanics that could add or reduce complexity and fun of the game.
