New Books, Like New Films, Get The Trailer Treatment

I’m doing some research on book trailers for a new business pitch. The trailers I’m finding range in style and production budgets, but overall I’m impressed with the efforts being made to move text-based products.

Here’s a new one promoting Simon Mainwaring’s new book, We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Build a Better World.

Here’s one for Tim Ferriss’ latest, The Four Hour Body.

Here’s one for Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 novel, Inherent Vice.

Here’s one for Sally Hogshead’s book Fascinate.
