Tucson Festival of Books

Ampersand Book Studio & Troctopus Press


Ampersand Book Studio was established to create cherished books...editions worthy of giving as a gift, to pass down as an heirloom, or simply to read for the third or fourth (or ninth) time. We want book lovers to be able to build their library anew with volumes which will age well and gracefully. Our artisan, one-of-a-kind journals and letterpress broadsheets celebrate the present and future of the "book beautiful."

Troctopus Press is an independently owned and operated book binding and printmaking studio. We are committed to creating books that combine the sensibilities of artists and writers meaning that many of the books that come from our studio are collaborative. Every single book that is created in our studio is hand-bound and we have a deep reverence to the vast and deep history of craftspeople who have created books for centuries before us.
