I'm not a director and I have'nt read any of these kinds of books, but a lot of my friends are directors and I hear them answering his question all the time. So this is essentially how any one of them would answer you.
what level of filmmaking are you at?
Do you need to learn about lighting, cinematography and shot compsotion?
or
Do you need to learn how to break a script down into a shot list and figure a real-life schedule and budget?
or
Do you need to learn some quick tricks to maximize your budget and production value?
Like I said, I don't have an answer, but I hope I narrowed your focus on this one...I'll ask my buddies for some advice.:)
