True, I would certainly prefer to start with the first book in a series even when the books can stand alone. In my case, each of "The Masters That Be" books builds upon the previous one, so order is essential.
Some writers have had success with offering the second book in a series for free and pricing the first book low; saying that in this way more people were interested in both books. Other writers have had better success with offering the first.
Of course, it all boils down to reaching people and letting them know that the books exist and are available for them to read. After that it is up to the book's own merits to withstand scrutiny, ignite interest -- and, hopefully, touch people's feelings and/or make people think.

Great, I would be interested to hear what you thought about it.
