How far back do you want to go? Before there were blogs, there were 
email discussion lists. I am pretty sure that my book, "Lineland, 
Mortality and Mercy on the Internet's Pynchon-L at Waste.Org" 
<http://www.cafecancun.com/bookarts/reviews.shtml> was the first book 
created from postings to an email list. It was originally published by 
Intangible Assets Management (a title that even pynchonauts found 
ideally suited to the subject matter). It is here now:
