Specialty Flour?

As I delve deeper into the world of bread baking I'm looking for a place to find specialty flours. By that I mean different high gluten versions of bread flours (like at the bottom of the page here), not stuff like semolina, amaranth, rye flours (I know where to find those).

I've found a decent selection of bulk flours at the Harvest Market in Central but they don't have the gluten variety I'm looking for. King Arthur has a decent selection too but I've not tried any of them. A Yelp search brought up Christina's Spice & Specialty Foods in Inman but I think those are more of the flours I mentioned above I'm not looking for. My next stop might be the bulk bins at Whole Foods.

Can anyone suggest a place where I can browse and buy these specialty type of flours? And, if not, are there e-tailers? Also, any recommendations for specific types of flour you've used with good results would be awesome too.

Hope this isn't too far off topic here. Thank you so much! [x-posted]

You need to have a business tax ID, and then you get a free membership. I work for a non-profit and therefore all of us who work here have membership cards. :) (It helps that we're two miles away from the Needham location.)
