What kind of bread do you want to make?
I have "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" and "Whole Grain Breads." I love them both.
I would start with "The Bread Baker's Apprentice." The first 40 pages are so describe a lot of technique and his background. I like the discussion of shaping and panning, etc. "Whole Grain Breads" has a lot of similar types of bread, they just happen to be whole grain.
On the down side for both of these books, most of the breads take multiple days to make, so you need to plan accordingly.

I have 5 of his books. Of the 3 listed, I think Bread Baker's Apprentice is the best choice.

You will recipes for breads like these in Bread Bakers Apprentice. The first few chapters of this book make the cost worth it as Reinhart goes into extensive detail as to what makes a good bread taste good, describing all the different types of flours, and different methods of fermentation.
