Good insignia books?

Was thinking I might get all the Guido Rosignoli books I've not got.
Doubtless they're familiar to most, but I've now paused & wondered if there's any other better or more complete things out there that present mounds of insignia in such an accessible way?

These ones.
Blandford:



Whoops... ordered book 2 before finishing posting this.
Still, at leas those two are a set. Several more to look at.

 

Oh, and I've got some of the Brian L Davis books, but they're a bit 'booky' & detailed for what I'm after.
Really do fancy easy to flick through books to match a badge to the page.

 

Yeah, not got but it's part of why I asked.
Is it more or less complete than having all the other ones? Naval, Air forces, ribbons? Can't work it out.

 

Slightly odd, isn't it.
The chap's name is all over a very specific little range of books from the mid/late 70s, along with a few mixed-up or reprinted editions. And despite having a few things with quite good single-force insignia chapters I've seen nothing yet that's as generally useful.

 

Thanks, Alastair. His look interesting.

And one of the Rosignoli ones there, Wtid.
They are good.

Both 30-40 years old.
It's looking like a bit of a neglected area. Maybe it's assumed you can now find it all in the web.

 

Rosignoli's Medal Ribbons & that combined air force/navy one Wtid mentioned ordered this AM.
I think... It gets very confusing when you order from Abe, Amazon, & an actual bookshop at the same time... (At least I wasn't pissed! So there won't be that strange box from N&MP or similar with no solid recollection of order. )

I actually like trying to ID insignia.
These little flickable books are perfect.

How did I know that'd be quite expensive.
Does look shiny, though, and you never regret an extravagance...

 

So, Rosignoli Book 1, inherited from my Grandfather 20+ years ago finally has book 2 to sit next to, and the Naval/Air Force one & Ribbons.
They're really very good, especially considering they're mostly on Amazon at that technically postage-higher-than-price point.

Though... I really don't understand why I've not seen a more modern general reference like these.
Are we all expected to just use the Internet (it's been beaten by these 70s books many times) or is it that the trend for proper nerdism is more niche these days, with genuinely shiny books like JB posted? I think it's odd. Maybe time/effort required to compile, cross-check & illustrate such a thing just isn't worth it any more.

Well there's a thread now. Shout out if you see anything.
