Summary: Great- I would have bought it at a higher price too
Comment: This is a great map and not just because of its price. I was looking for a map that was updated, large, and, I admit it, colorful. And that's exactly what I got.
I actually like the fact that the map is not the type of paper typically used for posters (the map feels more like printer paper) because there isn't a glare effect from light, which is useful because I'd rather not have to shift, twist, and turn just to read it. Also, even though it is not your typical paper for a map, the quality doesn't strike me as being any lower. You can always laminate it as well- we have a similar map that is laminated and (if you don't mind the glare) it looks very, very nice.
I have to reiterate how colorful this map is! A good buy for anyone, especially those who will use it fairly often and beyond "decoration."

Summary: Excellent map, unless your kids are sticky
Comment: It took me a while to discover that my kids were not going to learn any geography in school. About the time my 10 year old asked me what the capital of London was, I started shopping for maps.
Because the world changes so rapidly now, I decided to order maps large enough for a 6 and 10 year old to look at and comprehend, but cheap enough to be replaced once the borders of various countries are re-done.
The positives - this map is correct, it's large (we tacked them up in the hallway to the kids' rooms) and it's very colorful, which is good for 6 year olds.
The negatives - it's not laminated, now if I was buying this for myself that would be fine, but the paper is also some strange form of paper that attracts and holds small sticky fingerprints. Being maps, little fingers are naturally attracted like magnets.
If you are making the purchase for an adult or a classroom, or if you intend to frame it, then I highly recommend this map. If you are buying for little ones, I'd spend the extra money to get a laminated version.
One last note - if you purchase from Amazon, they are not particularly well packed. They put them in a tube that is too large for the map so it bangs around and the ends get a bit bent up. Also they don't tape the ends of the tube so I had to have a second one sent after my first tube arrived empty and without ends on it.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Simply great for this price
Comment: Simply great map at this price. The reason why I have given 4 star is Map being not laminated needs to be handled properly by children/parents.
