    There are 2 types of these for sale at amazon and I was wondering which is best. The one that is $3.99 is the pull-out one, and then there is a spiral bound one that is a little more expensive (by a few dollars). I was wondering if the spiral bound one would be worth the extra money.

    Anyone have experience with both?? Or just the pull-out one, and do you find it will last through 3 Modules (I read somewhere that it is used for mod 1-3)??

    Thanks.

    I have and enjoy the spiral version. We used with ancients. I’ve not seen the other. Sorry.

    I have the spiral bound one, and I found that we didn’t use it very much in Mod. 1 – My Bible has a really nice map section in the back, and we used those instead.  

    I don’t know which is best, but wonder if the pull out can survive 3 years of repeated use, plus another rotation through later.  The pull-outs are pretty small – 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 is supposed to be small enough to tuck into a Bible according to Amazon.  It also has 17 maps on it and unfolds to 38″.  I am guessing that it would be like a road map that you unfold and refold.  At that point, I would prefer the spiral bound.  

    I guess that it would depend on the children using it.  lol

    I have the spiral one and like it as well – fits nicely on the shelf and has held up well. I like sheraz would wonder how well the other one would hold up – I know my people aren’t that good at folding things back up. We haven’t used it a ton, but mine are still young, so maybe later. I am also a hardback snob and will always spring for the sturdier version – so take my opinion with that disclaimer 😉
