There is another display in the United States depicting the Book of Kells.   The Oregon State Library's The Book of Kells is a facsimile produced by Fine Art Facsimile Publishers of Switzerland. The publisher spent 10 years producing a limited edition of 1,480 copies. It is practically indistinguishable from the original in that unevenly cut pages and worm holes match exactly.  If you would like to visit this site and see what they have, GO HERE.
