Hi, We have a small number of tactile globes free to good homes. We have been distributing them to schools through our Curriculum Information Service, so Customer Services will not be able to advise you. If anyone is interested in a globe, please let me know.

I've tried the RNIB [yes, I should have known better!] they've nothing, and seemed perplexed even by the enquiry! I've Googled for it, and found [using the translation tool] a Braille globe on a Dutch website, that sounds quite good, in that it has continents that can be detached for closer scrutiny, and put back in place, it also has quite a lot of other useful sounding features; however, it is 225 Euros! I didn't have that much in mind when wanting such a thing. I do understand the difficulty with keeping a globe up-to-date etc, but anyway, anybody got any suggestions where to try?
