how old is this globe? publication date?

There is no discernible copyright date that I can find after a long perusal of my globe. Mapmakers do not wish to be pinned down else the purchasers might actually think it was up to date. It is, however, quite recent enough for my needs. I would estimate post 2000.

I'm out of town for a while and unable to see it directly but the projection is not disturbingly out of date as I recall. If you're looking for an up to the minute geopolitical globe with tons of details then you may want to look elsewhere. However, I do like the product and the use of the beige color for the oceans instead of blue works well especially when combined with the light which I liked despite not expecting to use it. The stand is a bit plain but for the price it's difficult to complain.

The manufacturer will sell parts but they're bandits with regards to shipping and handling. $7 for new globe, $14.50 s&h.;

It seems pretty up to date. I think they are serious about staying current. That said, I'm not a geographical expert so I'm probably not the best person to answer this question.

Still made in USA, the globe is chinese, unfortunately,,It's a great lantern, one of the brightest. Built like a tank.

My guess would be 2012, the Chinese writing makes it a bit difficult though.

You fill in the dates yourself. So it can be 2014 or 2015. You can also buy new pages for it.

We gave the globe to our then 6 year old grandson and as I remember the text was large enough to read.

I love this globe. It's the perfect size for me and tips up, down and around so that I can quickly find what Ii'm looking for, including many rivers, seas, lakes etc. But not all. I use it as I read and watch the news and to show my grandchildren where in the world things are. happening. "Major rivers" is a bit subjective. I don't want a bigger globe, but you might consider it if you have space for it.

The globe is current as far as my experience so far. It is an excellent value. I highly recommend the gimbal feature that makes details in the southern hemisphere easier to examine.

No. I have been putting off sending it back and knowing me, I probably never will. The globe talks now but never finishes whatever it is saying and is hard to understand. No sense in blowing money on this joke. Sorry not a happy experience. :(

About the right amount, relative to the size of the globe. You can see the raised places from several feet away. Hope this helps.

Very minimal. We had a globe for 9 yrs. and it just stopped running. We will purchase a new one since we just learned they are now sold on Amazon. They were originally made and sold exclusively thru brownstone, but, they stopped selling them nine yrs ago. Congratulations on purchasing one.

Text? U can read it but quality of globe material and "holder" is not worth the price. But child likes it and uses it.
