Low level adventures are much easier to run then higher level adventures so Crypt is a good place to start. I'm not sure what a B1 is but I would guess it means low level.
where did you see B1?
I'm pretty sure B1 will be a reference to the original TSR basic D&D module B1 In search of the unknown. The first basic set module, so Crypt of the Everflame is continuing that tradition by being the first Pathfinder RPG module. Some also suggest it's a reference to it's author, Jason Bulmahn.
As far as beginning modules is concerned Crypt is an excellent choice. Alternatively you could try D0 Hollows last hope. This is available in the pathfinder modules section as a free download and is a great intro mod. It is 3.5 but that shouldn't stop you from running it as the only things you might need to work out are CMB and CMD for a couple of monsters.

Congrat's on taking on the role of GM! You will provide many entertaining adventures for your buddies.
You have the right idea for books.
If you are interested in Pathfinder Society adventures, you can buy them for $4 each and have a great 4-5 hour adventure. Pick any of the low level scenario's from #29 on because those are Pathfinder rules.
Otherwise, I recommend "Hollow's last hope" for a low level adventure, but it is not Pathfinder, but 3.5 rules. You could snag up one of the new adventures that was written with the Pathfinder rules too.
Guys you rock for all the assistance I have never really played 3.5 so would like to stick to the pathfinder stuff so I dont have to worry about converting etc...
B1 is the module number for Crypt of the Everflame. Although you have now dated yourself by remembering the old B1 adventure.
Some of us still have a copy of that adventure ... :P
Mines the mega B1-9 reissue. Great times. B3 Palace of the silver princess and B2 Keep on the borderlands were my favourites

Good job Turin! Some of the B series adventures were great. I still have all of my copies and the big re-issue. I didn't care for In search of the unknown, but The Keep on the Borderlands will always be a favorite. I can still tell you by memory what types of creatures occupy each of the lettered caves in the Caves of Chaos.
Hopefully the Crypt of the Everflame can be that adventure for Gian Holland! Good luck and have fun!
