Sobre este artículo
The Book of Kells is the most spectacular of a group of manuscripts created in Ireland and northern Britain betwen the seventh and tenth centuries. During this period, Irish monasticism was in the vanguard of Christian culture.
The Book of Kells is a masterpiece of medieval art. It is a brilliantly illuminated copy of the four Gospels, with full page illustrations of Christ, Mary, and the four Evangelists. There is a wealth of smaller, decorative painting that seems to have little to do with the sacred text. The Book of Kells is an object of endless fascination for many, to the present. People are intrigued by the strange, half-surrealist imagination displayed, the impeccable technique, and the fine state of preservation.

However, with the explicit approval of ACP's Manager, we may accept returns on regular book orders, within 30 days of the placement of the order, at the sole discretion of ACP, without condition or warranty of any kind.

No COD returns will be accepted; you are responsible for all costs associated with return shipments.
A Catholic publisher in San Francisco says, "Items are not sold on approval. No returns or exchanges except for damaged or defective products. Problems must be noted within 30 days of receipt of product. Shipping costs will not be refunded."
A Catholic publisher in New Jersey says that refunds are granted for products that are damaged in transit or defective in nature. "No return will be accepted unless it has been approved previously by phone and assigned a return material authorization number."
The policy of ACP is much the same as these and other major Catholic publishers. Of course, if you have received damaged, defective, or incorrectly shipped books or other merchandise, please call or email us for instructions on returns. In all such matters, our goal is your complete satisfaction. We will always do our best for you.
