@Hiro_Chebさん、”of all the” is usually used to express annoyance, exasperation, or frustration, or surprise with someone or something.
For example, “You put diesel fuel into the car? Of all the careless things to do—now the car is ruined!”
“Of all the nerve, implying that I'm to blame for the project failing!”
“Of all the people in Maryland, who should I run into but Kerri!”
お役に立てば、幸いです。😊

Cathy’s answer is very important because that nuance is common. but it isn’t always the case, it’s very often just straightforward :
“Of all the books on this shelf, Moby Dick is the only one I haven’t read”.
“Of all the bicycles in this shop, only a few cost under 500€”.
There’s still a nuance to grasp akin to that in Cathy’s answer. Compared to simply saying “I have read all the book on this shelf except Moby Dick” it accentuates that there are LOTS of books, of which ONLY one remains unread.
