X in the center of his forehead, X falls on his face to the ground,
and Y cuts off his head. The term "Y and X" is generally referred to

during that time. X was originally founded in Bezos' garage in
Bellevue, Washington.
• In the first two months of business, X sold to all 50 states and over 45
countries. Within two months, X's sales were up to $20,000/week. While
the largest brick-and-mortar bookstores and mail-order catalogs might
offer 200,000 titles, an online bookstore could "carry" several times
more, since they had an almost unlimited virtual (not actual) warehouse:
those of the actual product makers/suppliers. Bezos wanted a name for his
company that began with any of the starting alphabets so that it would
appear early in alphabetic order. He began looking through the dictionary
and settled on "X" because it was a place that was "exotic and different"
, as he hoped his company would be.[6] Since 2000, X's logotype has been
an arrow leading from A to Z, representing that they carry every product
from A to Z.
