When the website first
went live it only sold books. The first book sold was Fluid Concepts and
Creative Analogies by Douglas Hofstadte. The original packing slip,
seen above, is dated April 3, 1995. JOHN WAINWRIGHT WAS AMAZON’S FIRST
EVER CUSTOMER. So after reading above you might be thinking what's the
need to write this stuff one can easily get it on Internet.
But the real fun is behind the scenes part that the book wasn’t on hand when Mr. Wainwright ordered it. So rather than disappoint his first customer, Jeff had to buy the book from a local bricks-and-mortar bookstore.
