  Tons of Antique Ampersands

  All of the antique ampersands you would ever want can be purchased for only $50,000. Maybe a little steep for me. Some really nice stuff in this collection.

  I had a freelance gig for a while that kept me pretty busy for a while. In the next few days, I plan to get the ampersand stuff rolling in again.

The Ampersand

A scribal abbreviation for and. Derived from the Latin word "et."

About

I like the ampersand. I think it is often the most attractive character of them all. This blog is an attempt to give this humble ligature the respect it deserves. If you would like to submit some ampersand-related content, please let me know.
