So I'm looking for a book that contains everything about Esperanto and did seems to be it. Can anyone confirm that?

I started it but never finished because I found Lernu but it does seem to have everything in it including a dictionary.

FYI, in case you didn't know you can find it for free on the kindle store or archive.org.

How do you define "everything about Esperanto"? A complete grammar, or something that has grammar, a course, information about the language, etc?

I often recommend Richardson's "Esperanto: learning and using the international language". It has an introduction to the language's history, plus a 10-lesson course (with answers in the back), plus practice readings, plus a small dictionary. It's a good all-in-one first book.

I think it is out of print now but PAG (Plena Analiza Gramatiko) is mine of information on many subtleties of the language.

It's available online as a downloadable PDF.

I have Kellerman's book. I have found it helpful and often refer to it. One problem- it is over one hundred years old and is thus limited in conveying many words and expressions that are useful today. Another problem- there are translation problems at the end of each chapter but the solutions are not printed anywhere in the book. As a beginner, I found this frustrating.

Of course, there is always the issue of copyright. I looked at the PDF, and it has a 1985 copyright notice. Did the copyright holder, i.e., UEA, give permission for it to be scanned and posted? Often books become "orphaned" in that sometimes it is practically impossible to determine who holds a copyright, especially books which have not yet unequivocally passed into the public domain. Another wrinkle is that copyright laws differ from country to country, and there are international conventions to take account of. However, this does not look like an "orphan."
