In 2017, Glenn was the inaugural Designer in Residence at Seattle’s School of Visual Concepts, where he spent the year relearning letterpress and culminated with printing a book of his typographic and language reporting.

Glenn is also the author of Connect and Secure Your iPhone and iPad (for iOS 13.1 and iPadOS 13.1), which you can purchase from him directly or through Take Control Books. His most recent title about typography and printing is London Kerning, a jaunt around that city and its deep history that can still be found in archives and letterpress studios. He’s currently making tiny type museums.
