I recently had to buy a globe for our library. The best place is Ultimate Globes
www.ultimateglobes.com
They have a wide assortment of sizes, styles, and prices.

Morning Jim,
Many thanks. I've been looking at both Reploggle and National Geographic globes at both their web sites but am not certain if there is a better source for purchasing. What
we need for our library is a more updated globe for general library use.
I am looking at several different globes but cannot spend oodles of money, who can these days?

I suggest you start here:
http://www.rare-maps.com/globes.cfm. The company is called Art Source, and they offer free shipping on globes. They feature Replogle globes that have an updatable globe program. National Geographic also sells political and physical globes.

Hi Folks,
I need your advice about purchasing globes. We have not purchased one in a long time and our basic globe has the copyright date of 1954, so I would like something a bit more current.
Any suggestions of a good place to start looking for globes for an undergraduate and graduate work?
Many thanks!
