The other principal Pilgrim and Secular Badges books I am aware of
may be had through Oxbow. I've been looking for Mitchener for a bit.
BTW I got the Salisbury Museum Catalog on Medieval Pilgrim and Secular
Badges last week and was very pleased with it. Very clearly illustrated
and a nice selection. There are two. Other books on Medieval Badges
would be Heilig and Profaan, and the Museum of London Medieval Catalog.

I believe the webpage is one short on their historical buckles books
as it lists only six, and the previous page I noted listed 7 books total
published by them. The missing book is:
Guide to Detector Finds : Guide to Dating and Identifying  Buckles, 
by Bailey, Gordon; Payne, Greg (Ed.)(Retail Price £6.00Each) 

My impression is that the same books are cheaper, and more fully listed
on the following page:
