Ampersand

Craig Conley

A manual for typographers published in 1917 acknowledged that there are many beautiful forms of the ampersand, yet it forbade their use in "ordinary book work." Extraordinary books are another matter. This opus explores the history and pictography of our most common coordinating conjunction. "Enjoyable on many levels. Visually it's quite elegant." --Ken Clinger, recording artist
