Used Book in Good Condition
Ratcatchers is actually the name of the series; here's a link to Priest, the first book in the series..
The books are by Matt Colville, who has a success D&D advice YouTube channel.
How does Matt handle dungeon ecology? Running the Game #1 glossed over it a little bit.
Also, Priest was a great read--love Heden! Why the change in POV from third person limited to third person multiple for Thief? (Edit: I enjoyed it, too, but felt it was less pulpy and more traditional.)
Matt: Love your work and truly appreciate what you're doing for the DnD community! I know I'll be a better DM for it.
If he doesn’t have much in the way of 3rd party content, I’d get him the [Tome of Beasts](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1936781565/ref=mp_s_a_1_1 ie=UTF8&qid=1523552464&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tome+of+beasts&dpPl=1&dpID=61%2BwXcuEGfL&ref=plSrch) from Kobold Press. It’s full of enemies that are lacking in the Mm and VGtM, like high CR monsters and Fey.
Alternatively, if he likes reading, get him Matt Coville’s book [Priest](https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0615512151/ref=mp_s_a_1_1 ie=UTF8&qid=1523553476&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=priest+matt&dpPl=1&dpID=41ZD3imHCkL&ref=plSrch). I haven’t read it, but I’ve heard nothing but good things. There’s also the Drizz’t series by R.A. Salvatore starting with Homeland, the Dragonlance series by Weis and Hickman, Discworld by Terry Pratchett, etc.
If he’s more into games, you could get him Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Steam. It’s basically DnD the game, if I had to describe it in a sentence.
All the books are normally around $6-10 dollars, and both the Tome Of Beasts and the game go on sale for around $30 fairly often.
Both books are on Amazon as Kindle and Paperbacks.

The first 3 Drizzt books are a must read for any fan of D&D. Other than those I recommend checking out Priest by Matt Coville who is a rising star in the DnD world. He is currently the writer for the new critical role comics and has a very successful YouTube channel revolving around DnD.
