What's The Everything Store about?
Despite being a billion-dollar company today, Amazon was built on humble beginnings in Jeff Bezos’ garage. From the get-go, Bezos was driven by the grand vision of creating an Everything Store – which has, in the meantime, virtually come true. Focusing equally on the company and its founder, this book shows how he turned his dream into a reality.
The Washington Post and Forbes both dubbed The Everything Store the best book of 2013.

- Anyone interested in the history of the online megastore Amazon
