My picks for best are:The Monster Vault - far. far better than 4Es Monster Manual, has a lot of the classics and a good lot of background stuff to go with it and tokens for every monster in the book. This is great for starting player's without many figures. The second Monster Vault is also pretty good.The Essentials DM's Kit. Brilliant Adventure, and brilliant book. 4E had some of the best GMs advice in DMG 1 and 2, and this book condensed a lot of it into one handy wee book.The Dark Sun Campaign setting. A great mix of background, setting, character options and rules. I'd say it set a gold standard on how to do a Setting supplement. It's a shame WotC never released anything following the same style. I never thought much of Dark Sun back in the AD&D days, but this book made me a convert. The Monster book that goes with it is also very good as well.The only 3.5 book that I really liked was Savage Species. I like my Monster PCs. It's the only 3.5 rulebook I regret getting rid of.I think Volo's Guide to Monsters may be destined to become a classic. That book is very good indeed.</blockquote>
