I happen to be a fan of 5th edition D&D and think the Player's Handbook is an excellent introduction to the game for new players. I appreciate the streamlining of many mechanics and much of the "busywork" math from the past has been eliminated. Players are encouraged to customize their characters in more ways than early editions and there's plenty of info packed into the 320 pages. I can wholeheartedly recommend this core book.
