END ZONES AND BORDER WARS
WILLES, ED
End Zones and Border Wars is the story of the CFL's ill-fated period of expansion into the United States
during the early to mid- 1990s. It was a time filled with intriguing characters, from John Candy to Nick
Mileti to Pepper Rodgers, the coach who loved everything about the Canadian game except the rules and
the teams. With a cast of investors who are hopeful but unfamiliar with the game, bizarre stories emerge,
from the Las Vegas Posse practising in the parking lot of the Riviera to the Shreveport Pirates camping
out above a barn full of circus animals. The CFL's attempts to push the Canadian game into expanded
territory brought both heartbreak and victory, and this is its fascinating story.

THE EVERYTHING STORE: JEFF BEZOS AND THE AGE OF AMAZON
STONE, BRAD
Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't
content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless
selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate
culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now. Brad Stone enjoyed
unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving
readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon. Compared to tech's other elite
innovators--Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg--Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of
new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures and transforming the retail landscape.
