All six books, all three core, all three bad game supplements are on sale right now for about 20 bucks each on amazon this month, absolutely worth the price of admission!

For 20 a pop, what is normally a $300 purchase turns into a $120 steal, never will you ever get a better deal on these books brand new.
My only regret was getting the one book I did have before this sale but ce n'est pas grave.
Now onto the book itself. I want to start by saying two things. One very unpopular thing, this is in my humble opinion a super mixed bag of a supplement book for which we only have the three and then of course all the many campaign idea books. It’s not a bad book but Volo has so much more in it, that I personally find more useful for modifying campaign creation complexity followed by Tome of Foes for the similar reasons, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything is not a bad book, I’m glad I bought it, I enjoy reading it, some things are useful in it, but it really does seem to be the most insulary of the three supplement books. Why? Because if the book never got made what would we be missing?
Additional content for classes which is the big one. Nothing to sneeze at, but even there some of what it adds is awesome others puzzling. Many DMs I know avoid this book entirely. Too many other factors to now keep up with while running the campaign. There is a reason somethings stayed back in the 3.5 edition. I might not completely agree I think if your group is willing to do the extra work and you can (life responsibilities withstanding) you should too. It’s just not super needed, it truly is supplemental. It also goes on to further clarify or as some people see modify core rules. Which once again, depending on how you see it might be awesomely helpful for the DM or terriblely restrictive for the players.
Now for what I think is awesome is the new spell list. Once again your opinion of them might be different then my own but I think that is literally what this books biggest selling point is, handsdown. In fact, it’s why Tome of Foes often gets put lower on the list for most people. Personally the halfling section of Tome of Foes makes that rating impossible for me, as it genuinely makes me belly laugh out loud reading that entire section lol
Either way, as you can see, I still bought it, I still love aspects of it, I just strongly caution that if not on sale (which it was when I got it, at 20 dollars) and instead of Volo and or Tome of Foes, God forbid before Player’s Handbook (which is ALWAYS your first purchase here) you might be a litte disappointed as it’s also physically the smallest of all six books size wise but exactly the same price, irregaurdless.

From the manufacturer
Beauty and Guile are in the Eyes of the Beholder
“I don’t understand the attraction of gods. Why would anyone worship anything other than me?”—The Xanathar
The beholder Xanathar, Waterdeep’s most infamous crime lord, is known to hoard information on friend and foe alike. He catalogs lore about adventurers and ponders methods to thwart them. His twisted mind imagines that he can eventually record everything.
The first major rules expansion to D&D fifth edition, Xanathar’s Guide to Everything provides a wealth of additional options for both players and Dungeon Masters.
Amid all this material, the Xanathar also offers bizarre observations about whatever his eyestalks happen to glimpse. Pray they don’t come to rest on you!
More Character Options
“I’ve always liked druids because they are made of natural ingredients. And I believe that everyone should have such a healthy diet.”—The Xanathar
Over 25 Added Subclasses
Xanathar’s Guide to Everything introduces additional subclasses for each of the classes in the Player’s Handbook—including the College of Glamour for bards, Circle of Dreams for druids, Hexblade for warlocks, and Way of the Drunken Master for monks.
It also contains popular subclasses previously released in Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, like the Swashbuckler and Mastermind roguish archetypes.
20 Racial Feats
In this book you’ll also find a collection of racial feats for players who want to further explore their character’s lineage.
Pass on some halfling luck to your friends with the Bountiful Luck feat. Or deepen your tiefling’s connection to their infernal bloodline with Infernal Constitution, getting special damage resistances and other perks.
More Spells
“You know one of the great benefits of living underground? No weather. Don’t mess this up for me.”—The Xanathar
Expand your magical repertoire with a book full of spells of every level, including charm monster, mass polymorph, illusory dragon, and many more.
Among them, you’ll find spells originally introduced with the Elemental Evil storyline. Release a magical tornado and strike your enemies with flashing bolts of lightning with storm sphere, or try out handy elemental cantrips like create bonfire.
DM Tools & Optional Rules
"Pit traps are hilarious! Because when one of you walking things steps on one you fall down! And get hurt! That's the best part."—The Xanathar
Design Traps & Balance Encounters
Xanathar’s Guide to Everything provides additional tools and optional rules that help Dungeon Masters run certain parts of the game more smoothly.
It delves deeper into encounter building, downtime, and how to create your own traps. It also provides rules for handling a variety of situations—from tying knots to falls in combat.
Magic Item Tables
Use the magic item tables to easily find the perfect ring for the party’s mage. The tables are separated by rarity, divided into minor and major items, and contain more “common” magic items to choose from.
Random Encounter Tables
Yeti attacks in the arctic and luminescent fungi in the Underdark—roll on encounter tables tailored to the party’s current environment and character level.
Playing Dungeons & Dragons
Become an Adventurer
Adventurers come in all shapes and sizes. Find one that’s fun for you.
An elvish cleric, driven from society for trespassing on tradition. A dwarven paladin, atoning for an ignominious past. The Player’s Handbook provides the skeleton for your characters. Flesh them out however you choose.
Join the Party
D&D brings people together and forges new friendships. Silly moments spawn inside jokes; moving battles leave treasured memories—whether in the heat of battle, embroiled in social intrigue, or solving clever puzzles, your party has your back.
Choose Your Own Path
The woods are growing dark. Behind a mass of ivy, you see the stones of a crumbling castle. What do you do?
In D&D, your options are limitless. Because the Dungeon Master, as narrator of your tale, can improvise in reaction to any choice you make, what happens next is entirely flexible. Do you dare go on?

Nothing to sneeze at, but even there some of what it adds is awesome others puzzling. Many DMs I know avoid this book entirely. Too many other factors to now keep up with while running the campaign. There is a reason somethings stayed back in the 3.5 edition.

It’s just not super needed, it truly is supplemental. It also goes on to further clarify or as some people see modify core rules.
