Nov. 7, 1995-- Amazon.com Books, a virtual bookstore offering more than 1 million titles, has again dazzled industry watchdogs with its impressive selection of books and award-winning search features.
As part of its Top 100 Web Sites list, PC Magazine recently named Amazon.com Books as one of the 10 best commercial sites in cyberspace, making Amazon.com the only on-line bookseller recognized by the widely-read computer magazine.
The PC Magazine Top 100 Web Sites list, updated continuously, selects worthwhile home pages as a service to the Internet community. With a new Web site coming on-line nearly every 60 seconds, making the PC Magazine Top 100 list is quite an accomplishment. Amazon.com Books joins such cyberspace notables as Time Magazine, Lycos, Yahoo, and the Library of Congress on PC Magazine's hot list. In its review of Amazon.com, PC Magazine applauded the virtual bookstore's comprehensive search features, and described Amazon.com as a "bibliophile's dream."
In addition to earning a place on PC Magazine's Top 100 list, Amazon.com Books has received accolades on The Point Survey, Yahoo's What's Cool List and Netscape's What's New List. In its first month of operation, Amazon.com filled book orders from all 50 states and 45 countries.
