@evansammccann Hi Evan
I have written books on Shopify, Nortel and Bombardier, as mentioned on my LinkedIn account at https://t.co/oldkzYgYUT

[larry macdonald @Larry_MacDonald]

@tobi Hey Tobi
That's a good idea. I could do it. I have written 3 books already, two of which were Canadian best sellers. So you can rest assured it would get done and done well.
