I'm in the reverse position: I have TSCM on my shelves but all I know of 99VoaP is what I can tell from Amazon's look-inside feature. My impression is the same as yours: the two books are very very different. TSCM is very much a book that intends to teach the reader some nontrivial mathematical ideas and techniques. 99VoaP sticks with a single rather elementary proposition and shows lots of ways of looking at it.
