Review Quotes

"Jeff Bezos' first letter to Amazon shareholders should be required reading for every entrepreneur. I keep the letter in a folder on my desk and re-read it at least once a year. In The Bezos Blueprint, Carmine Gallo examines more than two decades of Bezos letters to reveal the writing and communication strategies that should be taught to everyone with a story to tell."
--Marc Randolph, Co-Founder and First CEO of Netflix.
