I've been discussing the details of the book layout for "Entreprenerd" last week, and once we have made a final decision for the fonts, typesetting can begin.

I shared the survey on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and I asked the respondents where they found the link. This was what they answered:
