Having worked with Keith Billing's when I was at Burroughs and he was VP Eng at Hammond and I have his book, I have to agree, his book is the best I have seen.
Although it is dated, it gets into the details about each topology that is still relevant and more important tells you what you need to know about magnetic design and choices.
It is not a cookbook of commercial chip applications, it gets into the details of every aspect of SMPS design.
As you said, i found them good on magnetics, (one was better than the other, i think the latter).
But regarding feedback loop compensation, i am thinking that Ridley is the man for this, as his switchingpowermagazine.com website has really really good short pdf's on compensation and other things.
So any news of his book?
the book by Erickson/maksimovic looks to me like a giant PhD thesis....obviously written by brilliant people......but perhaps only FOR brilliant people.
The Billings books i found lacking when i was doing a half bridge and i was looking into drift of the split rail capacitor voltage.
Also, during split output smps design for class d supply, i found them not telling much about coupled output inductors in full bridges etc.
I like Ridleys aproach, he kind of accepts that most people are not of Einsteinian interlect.
