Yeah, IIRC they were still just a book store back then with B&N competing nicely with them. Seems like such a long time ago now!

That same order from June 2000 included five other books and one Sega Dreamcast game (Grand Theft Auto 2), so they must have had a few non-book departments back then.

I guess getting into other media was probably the logical first step so makes sense.

They started selling other media like music and videogames fairly early, but it was quite a while before it became a place to buy literally anything.
