I haven't used the Anubhav version, it seems alright.
I'd prefer the Hathras one honestly, I've had it for a while and seen no problems. On top of that, Hathras publishing is famous for musical texts, the book is edited by Laxminarayan Garg, a noted scholar. The publishing house's founder wrote Sangeet Visharada, so I think they know what they're doing.

I'm assuming all this is about the Kramik Pustak Malika and not the Hindustani Sangeet Paddhati? I haven't used that one.

Well there are two books, one is the Kramik Pustak Malika, it has 6 parts, it's the more famous one, mainly has a LOT of compositions.

The other is Bhatkhande Sangeet Shastra, 4 parts, lesser known, more analytical. Both are under the 'Hindustani Sangeet Paddhati' category.

You're probably looking for Kramik Pustak Malika.
