Book A is far better than Book B.

Or maybe:

Compared to Book B., Book A is far better.

2.) Pls tell me the correct use of  phrase "come across" with the help of examples.

You could probably search the internet for some better examples; but here are two different examples of  the use of "come across".

1.  To find unexpectedly:  "I was shopping for some blue hair dye, when I came across a wig which was the exact shade of blue that I wanted; so I bought the wig instead of the hair dye.

2.  To give the impression of:  "He comes across as unfriendly; but he's really very nice.  He's just shy."
