Book Trailerpark

Regular readers will recall that I blogged early, if not often, about the phenomenon of book videos (see Vid Lit posts). Last fall a new blog, Book Trailerpark began offering a roundup of this recent promotional endeavor. I see that many of the videos come from my favorite funny cat films site, YouTube.com. In the launch post, the people running Book Trailerpark said:

So in the interests of public service -- and, yes, self interest -- from now on we'll be finding, posting and promoting the best book-video content online right here.

I'm not sure why they hung themselves with the "trailerpark" handle, but it does give new meaning to the phrases, taking out the trash and trailer trash, hmm? I'm not suggesting anything about Book Trailerpark, per se.
