Great book, step by step guide to creating characters. Mine arrived in good condition but D&D books are notorious for having crushed corners. The illustrations are nice and the book explains the core mechanics of the game very well. Especially good with MOnster Manual and DM guide, but these are definitely not required, if you do not DM then save yourself the £50. I know that there are PDF's online but it is so nice to have a paper copy to easily refer to, and I think this contains more information than most PDF's I've seen.
Definately worth the price if you are new to D&D or just want a more in depth view.

Player's Handbook
Welcome to the World of Dungeons & Dragons
The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about collaborative storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery. Like games of make-believe, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing a crumbling castle in a darkening forest and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.
This book will be your guide to character creation and advancement, your reference for spells and equipment, and a constant companion at your table for looking up just how many beams of eldritch blast you can shoot this time.
Explore ancient ruins and deadly dungeons. Battle monsters while searching for legendary treasures. Gain experience and power as you trek across uncharted lands with your companions.
The world needs heroes. Will you answer the call?
Arm Yourself for Adventure
Learn How to Play
Dungeons & Dragons immerses you in a world of stories. The rules give structure to those stories, determining the consequences of an adventurers’ actions. Will your fireball finish off that vicious troll? Will you see the trap door before falling to your doom? Roll the dice and see.
The Player's Handbook is the essential D&D rulebook for both players and Dungeon Masters. Whether you're pulling off a thrilling heist or trying to charm a surly troll, this book will teach you everything you need to know for a lifetime of playing and running D&D games.
Bring Your Character to Life
Create a Character
The Player's Handbook will guide you through the process of creating a character. Choose from the most iconic D&D races and classes. Give your adventurer a personality and background. Equip them with armor, weapons, and all the adventuring gear they'll need to succeed. And dive into a game of magic and monsters, brave warriors and spectacular adventures.
As your character's experience and power grows, this book will also be your guide for leveling up, with handy reference charts and a variety of customization options.
Enter a World of Magic
Fill in Your Spellbook
Learn to resurrect your allies with the touch of your hand or punish enemies with blazing orbs of fire. The Player's Handbook will teach you the rules for spellcasting, the nature of magic in the D&D multiverse, and serve as your personal spellbook—who needs to go to wizard school?
Choose your spells from a huge A–Z directory, with full descriptions of over 350 of D&D's most beloved spells.

Great visuals and lots of game information
🐉 This book makes a great impression and has that new-book smell that I find slightly exciting in an anticipatory way. The book is very colourful, with full-page images throughout, but not to the detriment of the information enclosed. This book was a gift for my daughter, who plays D&D, and she was delighted to receive the book and immediately sent pictures of it to her fellow D&D players. She spent a great deal of time pouring through the book, so it seemed to captivate her attention. It’s not a cheap book, and I worried about the possible advent of another version of the ruleset. My rationale is that I could prevaricate forever, as there always seem to be threats of rule changes with such games, so I took the plunge. Recommended. ✔️
