Re: Book trailers

Here are a couple of samples from a friend of mine, who ran a 
panel on book trailers a couple of weekends back. (I really 
wanted to attend, but I was busy running registration at the same 
convention. Drat.)

I have some idea of what went into these, and I will point them 
out as to how much is possible with very *little* in resources.

Both of these do an amazing job of setting a tone, and raising 
questions that can only be answered by reading the book. Both are 
somewhat in the mysterious vein, so this might drive ideas you 
can use.

This site publishes one per week - might be a good place to go to 
check out a somewhat collated collection.
