I’d heard that I might be the first non-employee customer, but could not get it confirmed. BTW, I still have the book and the original Amazon packing slip!"

The first item ever sold on Amazon was a book titled "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought" by Douglas Hofstadter. It was purchased in July 1995, shortly after Amazon launched as an online bookstore.

Amazon knows no shame..................
