This is interesting, Dave.  I wonder how many volunteers we still have who 
were volunteering at the very beginning.  I think Shelley, and I wonder who

I think it more likely, that instead of being the first book ever
added to the collection, it is the first book that was added to a new
database on Jan 7, 2002 because it starts off with 10lb, and an
alphabetic sort would grab books starting with numbers and then
letters, and we already had thousands of books in the collection by that 
date.
