For the past decade, a small group of rare book experts has sought to re-create Jefferson's library, scouring antiquarian book collections on two continents to acquire thousands of volumes. The entire collection of more than 6,000 volumes -- some originals and some replacements -- will go on display [today] at the Library of Congress, looking much as it would have 200 years ago.

Note to self: bring Windex wipes to clean off any drool you leave on the protective glass.
