Dear Alice & Co,

Greaves and Thomas seem to have placed a paper globe making kit
on the market - two models were delivered to the Bodleian Shop
earlier this week, priced at around ten pounds - one was
certainly Martin Behaim's Erdapfel.

The kit includes gores, and what looked like a small plinth,
plus lots of additional extras.

I shall endeavour to find out more.

With best wishes,
Nick Millea
