it is a treasure of culture, available to the general public. Support your local library.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make and how it relates to what I said.

> why even go looking at the book of kells ... etc

why even go looking at the book of kells is the sentiment about the deliberate versus knee jerk information consumption, which was prompted by the reflection on the levels of ugliness and indignity supporting the knew jerk consumption. it wasn't a comment on the value of book of kells, or the effort of making it available to the public.

I think you're being purposefully obtuse now. the Internet is a free resource
