It's worth noting as an historical footnote that Barnes & Noble only got their title of ``first online bookseller'' by purchasing Bookstacks Unlimited, a small company which owned the books.com domain.

They honoured Bookstacks' ``bookmarks'' for a while, sending out a broadcast e-mail noting when the cut-off date for them would be.

(who bought an awful lot of books from Bookstacks Unlimited (over dial-up, though I think a couple of times I telnetted in from a workstation at college) and lost a fistful of bookmarks)
