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.:)

Robert Rodriguez has his "10 Minute Film School" on the Spy Kids 2 DVD
The movie is terrible, but the simple tricks of the trade he imparts in that short time is incredible. Also, Resivoir Dogs comentary track is an incredible lesson in filmmaking.

It's probably kinda hard to find, but Lloyd Kaufman (Troma) has a DVD set out there specifically for people interested in making their own low budget films... It's called 'Make Your Own Damn Movie!' but like I said, it could be hard to locate.
