My First Amazon.com order

Omar had this incredible idea to share the details of his first Amazon.com order, and I thought I would join in on the fun.

It would seem that on June 9th, 1997 I made my first purchase from Amazon.com (and probably my first purchase on the web ever).  I bought the following items:

• Gravity’s Rainbow
• Mason & Dixon
• Against a Dark Background

Those three books, including shipping (ah, that’s when I paid for shipping from Amazon), cost me $37.31.

The sad thing is that I still haven’t finished reading Gravity’s Rainbow.  It is a difficult read.

So, what was in your first order from Amazon and when did you place it?

And yes, that's what Amazon.com looked like in 1997.  Ten years, it boggles the mind.
