Default Badges and Uniforms of the Royal Air Force by Hobart

The thread title is of the book I'd like to ask about. I have never seen it in person before, and it's up for re-release in November this year......is it worth getting or is it pretty "blah" for a reference book?

It is awful, don't waste your money! Generally speaking its basic at best, has many errors, and amongst the illustrations shows repro badges alongside genuine ones (without reference), and postwar badges mixed with wartime, again without reference. It's about good enough to tell a cap badge from a brevet, but nothing detailed or in depth.
