surface. In addition, there are several Mars globes that have been sold over
the years. [In the hardcopy of this guide, there are] 32 pages [which] include

Purchasing Globes
Currently [August 1993], the only place where a Mars globe can be purchased
(unless you happen to see one at a garage sale) is from the Sky Publishing
Corp. which publishes Sky and Telescope magazine. You should check
with them on the cost, but they typically run [in 1993] the neighborhood
of $80.00 [U.S.A.]. This globe is the only one thus far published based
upon the results of the Viking missions. Sky publishing Corp. has
a catalog you can obtain by writing to:
