Actually, first books in a series have always been okay. Personally I feel that "stand alone" is the only unwritten rule we should follow; whether or not a book is first in a series makes little difference to me. Of course, the trouble with that logic is that, until we've read a particular book, how do we know if it's stand-alone? Mistakes are inevitable, but that's life.
