From 1996 to 2001, journalist and author James Marcus--employee number 55--worked as an editor for Amazon.com, during which time the Internet retailer went public and began to build itself into the dominating presence that it is today. This memoir takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Amazon corporate culture during those years of rapid growth and wildly fluctuating stock prices.
