For me the best so far book on Bayesian probability was "Probability Theory: The Logic of Science: Principles and Elementary Applications" by E. T. Jaynes.
The book starts from the deduction of Bayesian theorem from the first principles of logic and shows its applications to a wide range of topics. There is thorough discussion of various "paradoxes" and the author sharply criticizes the frequentist statistics. In addition there is a lot of historical references.
