I have access to tons of DnD resources on my PC, but having a pdf (or the SRD) and having a book in your hand are completely different. At the moment I have physical copies of:The Player's Handbook 3.5eDungeon Master's Guide 3.5eMonster Manual 3.5eTome of Battle Cityscape (borrowed)Heroes of Battle (borrowed)AD&D DM GuideThe Spell CompendiumFor basic information about feats or base classes I can print out pages or copy a few sentences down from a random book off my PC. What I'm looking for are books that are especially useful to have in-hand while playing or for constant use.I've been told that a copy of the DM Guide II 3.5e has a lot of useful information for DMs on how to roleplay. I've been told the same thing about Player's Handbook II 3.5e but for players (which might concern me less since I'm a DM). The Magic Items Compendium seems very desireable for generating magical items outside of the basic magic items from the DM guide. And the Arms and Equipment Guide looks like it could be useful, however I think it's 3e and might be the same stuff that's featured in the Magic Items Compendium.Any information you can give about which books you find the most useful as a DM, think could help me improve my skills as a DM, or add a lot to the game by having in-hand would be much appreciated.*edit*Also, does anyone know any good places to purchase 3.5e books online other than amazon or ebay?</blockquote>
