About the Author
Glenn has written oodles of books over the last 25 years, first for Peachpit Press, and later for Take Control. Mostly recently, he did a complete update of Take Control of Wi-Fi Networking and Security for a world without AirPort hardware, and revised his self-published book, Connect and Secure Your iPhone and iPad for iOS 13 and iPadOS 13. Glenn writes for the Economist, Atlas Obscura, Increment, Macworld, and TidBITS on topics as varied as the longest-running metal foundry in America, the unique nature of sheriffs in America, and the long-awaited new addition to public domain material in the U.S. in 2019.

Thank you to Joe Kissell for his constant encouragement, technical support, and for being a delightful advocate of fellow authors.
Shameless Plug
As part of my historical interest in type and printing, I created a project in 2019 called the Tiny Type Museum & Time Capsule. It’s a real, tiny museum full of type and printing artifacts, new and old, in a handmade case, coupled with a letterpress-printed book covering the development of printing over six centuries. You can get a museum or the book at tinytypemuseum.com.
