Most of the book promo videos I've seen up to now have been pretty bad: cheesy low-budget attempts to dramatize portions of the book or a nervous author with deer-in-the-headlights eyes trying to summarize the book in a minute.
Here's an exception, a video for an unusual new book by Daniel Pink, called The Adventures of Johnny Bunko--it's career advice, manga style. Have a look, see what you think.
