author:  Brad Stone 
description: <strong>Winner of the <em>Financial Times</em> and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award</strong><br /><br /> <strong>Chosen as a Best Book of the Year by the <em>Washington Post, Forbes, The New Republic, The Economist, Bloomberg,</em><em> </em>and <em>Gizmodo</em>, and as one of the Top 10 Investigative Journalism Books by Nieman Reports</strong><br /><br />"Mr. Stone tells this story with authority and verve, and lots of well-informed reporting.... A dynamic portrait of the driven and demanding Mr. Bezos." -- Michiko Kakutani, <em>New York Times</em><br /><br />"Engrossing.... Stone's long tenure covering both Bezos and Amazon gives his retelling a sureness that keeps the story moving swiftly." -- <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br /><br />"Jeff Bezos is one of the most visionary, focused, and tenacious innovators of our era, and like Steve Jobs he transforms and invents industries. Brad Stone captures his passion and brilliance in this well-reported and compelling narrative." -- Walter Isaacson, author of <i>Steve Jobs</i><br /><br />"Stone's account moves swiftly and surely." -- <i>New York Times Book Review</i>, "Editor's Choice"<br /><br />"<em>The Everything Store</em> is a revelatory read for everyone--those selling and those sold to--who wants to understand the dynamics of the new digital economy. If you've ever one-clicked a purchase, you must read this book." -- Steven Levy, author of <i>Hackers</i> and <i>In the Plex</i><br /><br />"A deeply reported and deftly written book.... Like Steven Levy's "In the Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives," and "Gates: How Microsoft's Mogul Reinvented an Industry -- and Made Himself the Richest Man in America" by Stephen Manes and Paul Andrews, it is the definitive account of how a tech icon came to life." -- <i>Seattle Times</i><br /><br />"Stone's book, at last, gives us a Bezos biography that can fit proudly on a shelf next to the best chronicles of America's other landmark capitalists." -- <i>Forbes</i><i></i><br /><br />"Stone's tale of the birth, near-death, and impressive revival of an iconic American company is well worth your time." -- Matthew Yglesias, <em>Slate</em><br /><br />"An engaging and fascinating read.... An excellent chronicle of Amazon's rise.... A gift for entrepreneurs and business builders of the new generation." -- <i>Business Insider</i>
