I tried the following command, it works:
gcc -pthread -o threadapp threadapp.c

My book suggests the following:
gcc -pthread threadapp.c -o threadapp -lpthread

What is the different? Which on is better?

There is really no difference. -pthread implies -lpthread
(on GNU/Linux, anyway), so the latter version is just redundant.
