The Everything Store

Brad Stone is Bloomberg News' senior executive editor of global technology and the author of the New York Times best-selling book The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon. He has been covering Silicon Valley for over 15 years and currently resides in San Francisco.

Jeff Bezos knows how to win in the world of e-commerce. He transformed Amazon from a small-scale online bookstore to a behemoth that accounts for nearly half of all online sales—45 percent as of 2019.

While The Everything Store is a biography rather than an e-commerce marketing book, it is an excellent resource for learning how to thrive from one of the true industry titans. It will give you a great perspective and is ideal for new digital entrepreneurs who want to get started on the right foot.

Amazon.com began by sending books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, was not satisfied with simply being a bookseller. He envisioned Amazon as the "everything store," with limitless selection and seductive convenience at dizzyingly low prices. To accomplish this, he established a corporate culture of unwavering ambition and secrecy that has never been broken. Until now, that is. Brad Stone had unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees, as well as Bezos family members, providing readers with the first in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at life at Amazon. Bezos is a private man in comparison to the other elite innovators in technology, such as Jobs, Gates, and Zuckerberg. However, he is notable for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures such as the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.

The Everything Store will be the revealing, definitive biography of the company that made one of the Internet's first and largest bets, forever changing the way we shop and read. The book is regarded as one of the best books on E-Commerce.
