That is the DM section, yes.

Read the moves.  Good DMs do those instinctively. But here they are listed out so you can read and think about them instead of discovering by trial and error.

Thank you

Thanks everyone Because I need to prioritize and after thinking about it. I'm going to read the old books first, some are short. I will go with:

- Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide, Gygax 1979
- What is Dungeons and Dragons? by Butterfield, Parker & Honigman 1983
- Through Dungeons Deep: A Fantasy Gamers' Handbook by Robert Plamondon.  1982
- Best of White Dwarf Articles by various authors. 80s
- I have in mind two other books one from the 80s and one from the 90s. I have not decided. I think DMG by Gygax will take me a long time to read it.

However I need to take a look more in deep with the other recomendations, there are so many books. Some that I have in mind are:

- Robin´s Law of Good Gamemastering, by Robin D. Laws 2002
- Lamentations of the Flame Princess Referee Book, James Raggi IV
- Arbiter of Worlds by Alexander Macris 2019

Please if you know other GM Books throw it here  I'm gonna check it

For DM advice, there are many excellent articles in Dragon Magazine, which you can dig around through via the DragonDex at https://www.aeolia.net/dragondex/articles-subject.html

Some of my favorites include:

All by Gary Gygax:
- "D&D Is Only As Good As the DM"   in Strategic Review #7
- How To Set Up Your Dungeons & Dragons Campaign" in Europa #6-8 (and archived at http://gygaxslegendarium.blogspot.com/search/label/How%20to%20Set%20Up%20Your%20Dungeons%20&%20Dragons%20Campaign)
"Making Monsters Meaningful" in Dragon #42
- "Founding Greyhawk" in Dragon Annual #2 (itself an expansion from his Polyhedron #12 article, "Setting the Milieu"---or maybe it was expanded into Forge a Fantasy World, perhaps?)
- "To Forge a Fantasy World:  Greyhawk's Creation" in Horsemen of the Apocalypse (and archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20140703092712/http://gygaxslegendarium.blogspot.com/2012/04/to-forge-fantasy-world-greyhawks.html)
- his two non-fiction books, Role-Playing Mastery and Mastering the Game

All by Ed Greenwood:
- "From the City of Brass to Dead Orc Pass: the Theory and Use of Gates" in Dragon #37
- "The Merry Month of...Mirtul?" in Dragon #47"
- "Down-To-Earth Divinity" in Dragon #54
- "Plan Before You Play" in Dragon #63
- "Law of the Land" in Dragon #65

There are plenty of others, but they're a good start
