The first 2 books, 'Doughnut', and 'When It's A Jar', I would normally recommend over 'The Out-sorcerer's Apprentice', they're more scifi slanted and imo tightly written.
The fundamental technology tying the books together is re-explained in book 3 though and you can figure stuff out without having read books 1 & 2, but it's probably not going to be quite as funny without all that pained context and layers of multidimensional headfuckery.
