Best products from r/Maps

Also, I used Mastering ArcGIS by Maribeth Price in my class. She does a really good job getting you started with ArcGIS. Even if it's a lot more "click this, then this, then this, then this" you still somehow get to know what you're actually doing pretty quickly. GIS really is a fun hobby if you have an interest in maps. There are SO many possibilities.

Wow. I have to own a set of these. Thanks for sharing.

‘Ello! I found a few:

A modernist Black and white globe an Amazon: $15 USD - Here

A more vintage-style globe with styled colour: $37 USD - Here

If you prefer a larger, more vivid globe, try this: $25 USD - Here

If you want a hand crafted, gemstone globe with bright colour: $75 USD - Here

If you want a vintage light up globe with LEDs: $60 USD - Here

And finally, if you want a true antique style globe, consider going outside the limit: $112 USD - Here

So this looks like to be the 2000 edition due to the authors (although the date is marked at [2000?] and so is questionable). That's the best guess since I can't see any country borders, but we're safe to say that it's not old enough for that vintage value and just to say old enough to be outdated. They don't make it in this model anymore, and their official site doesn't sell that kind of stand. The closest model I could find was an Amazon one which say it was first being produced in 2003.

However, here's a list of date references to find the accurate date of your globe.

It has the same color scheme as their Commander II globe which brand new is worth 250$, although amazon has the same one for 450$. That cooper-looking stand though kind of ruins the authentic look to it, but that's just personal opinion.

You could probably get 75-150$. You could also get 200$ if you lie to the customer about its age(or just forget to mention), not like most people care about the minor details. They just like that globe looking feel

The Man Who Ate His Boots by Anthony Brandt.

The narration is surprisingly important for my enjoyment of a book, and Simon Vance is one of my favorites. The book itself is an extremely well-researched history of the search for the Northwest Passage during the mid-19th century by the British.

Also, The Terror by Dan Simmons. I had the good fortune of reading (listening) to this book right before the AMC series was announced, which is currently on its 7th (out of 10) episodes. This is a fictionalized, but also extremely well-researched, account of the fate of the Franklin expedition of 1845, which is one of the main focuses from the first book I mentioned. This book is 26 hours, so if you're serious about listening to one of them, I would start with the first to see if it interests you. If it does then I would definitely go for The Terror next, since I believe it to be the superior book in terms of grit, atmosphere and emotive quality.

The best pocket atlas I've ever come across is by Collins. I don't particularly like their large reference atlases but their smaller pocket ones are really quite lovely.

Patience, precise record-keeping, good old trigonometry, a whole lot of hiking, repeat all of the above hundreds upon hundreds of times in all weather and against all odds.

For specifics on how things were done around this time, read "The measure of all things", that should answer most of your questions. I believe there was a TV show about it (or was it "Longitude"?)

Hi there, I have this map on my wall and I love it. It has South Sudan and pretty sturdy paper (it's not plastic by any means, though.) It's quite large, about a meter lengthwise.

I always used to like Bartholomew's but looks like they long ago merged with Collins. Looks like Collins still do a mini-sized atlas.

That was a cool slideshow. Did anyone see the pictures of the Swedish subway system that were on Reddit a month or two ago? Also, has anyone else checked this book out? I snagged a cheap used copy. It definitely focuses on the design aspect of the map, rather than tons of info about the subway, but it'll make any transit geek happy.

I have a world map that I bought at Walmart wayyy back. Looks great. Has all the large and fair sized cities on it and an old fashioned "weathered" colour to it. Very closely related to this one.

Amazon has 'em. I'm pretty sure I've also seen them at Metsker Maps in downtown Seattle.
