"better book" is interesting wording. HPFAP covers less topics, but it covers them more comprehensively. Sklansky and Malmuth are better writers, and better at explaining the topics covered. However, you would need to add a few additionally Sklansky books to cover all the material in Weighing the Odds. I recommend and liked Weighing the Odds, I just think it offers little new, and it not as comprehensive when it covers a topic or as clear as other books are.

I suggest ALL of the following books, they are all terrific, in no particular order:
The Theory of Poker
Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players
Small Stakes Hold 'em
Harrington on Hold 'em Volume I
Harrington on Hold'em Volume II
Seven Card Stud for Advanced Players
High-Low Split Poker, Seven Card Stud and Omaha Eight or Better for Advanced Players
Sklansky on Poker
Gambling Theory and Other Topics
Getting the Best of It
Inside the Poker Mind
Middle Limit Holdem
Poker Esasys I
Poker Esasys II
Poker Eassys III
Tournament Poker for Advanced Players

I left Weighing the odds off the list, because it is just not well enough written or thorough enough in some of the topics covered.
