Arbiter of Worlds: A Primer for Gamemasters by Alexander Macris
An interesting look at the practicalities of running a game. Including how it differs from writing from the DM's point of view. He tends toward sandbox games, which emphasizes the difference. Though the chapter about abduction (reasoning from an unusual event to the principle that caused it) is something that applies to both.
A particularly interesting appendix on alignment.
