Found a 1997 Amazon Box — When They Only Sold Books
I just found an Amazon box from 1997 buried in my basement — back when Amazon was basically a glorified online bookstore and Jeff Bezos still had hair. No smiley arrow logo, no drones, just a plain ol’ cardboard box that probably delivered a hardcover copy of How to Use the Internet.
It’s a relic from a simpler time, when “next-day delivery” meant “maybe next week,” and Prime was just a number. The tape’s yellowed, the logo looks like clip art, and honestly? It belongs in a museum next to dial-up modems and AOL CDs. Ah, the good old dot-com days.
