The lowrider handbook has 170 pages, how to build a lowrider has about 128.
As for which one is the best......They both cover different things!! I would say that HTBAL is the more comprehensive, as it shows how to install hydro's, and covers all aspects of lows....
The lowrider handbook covers air bags, and frame wrapping, etc. but you can find some of this information on the lowrider magazine website.
Good luck!
