The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon is a 2013 bestselling book written by journalist
D.E. Shaw & Co., LLP. As part of his research, Stone tracked down Ted Jorgensen, Bezos’s biological father, who operated a bike shop in Glendale, Arizona, and did not know that his son had become one of the most famous businessmen in the world.[3]
The paperback edition, published in 2014, includes a lengthy email to the author from Amazon’s first CFO, the late Joy Covey.
The book and its findings on Amazon’s internal workings and its relationship with suppliers have been cited in subsequent research and reports from regulators and legislators.
Reception

Remains of the Day.[6] Stone was allowed access to many current and former Amazon executives, as well as Bezos’s parents and personal friends, but had only limited interaction with Bezos himself.[6]
