Glenn Goluska, 1947–2011, was a Canadian book designer and typographer. He was born on June 26, 1947, in Chicago[1] and came to Canada as a student at the University of Toronto. After graduating he worked for some time in the United States before returning to Canada to work at Coach House Press. He left Coach House Press to focus on letterpress printing: his imprints were Imprimerie Dromadaire and Nightshade Press.[2][3]
