MORE 'VIDEOS' POSTS
Not too long ago I got to thinking about that A Series of Unfortunate Events movie. It was a film that got its fair share of criticism and didn’t do particularly well box-office-wise. Yet in spite of all of that I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. I thought it had much to recommend it. […]
Adam Rex called Git Gob "possibly the best one-minute short I’ve ever seen". You have to admit, it is pretty bert. Thanks to Adam for the link. Since the death of the blog Book Trailer Park (sniff) I’ve missed having a centralized site where booktrailers can be collected and searched for. JacketFlap has now alleviated […]
This pizza-related memoir should be out on bookstore and library shelves at this moment. The true story of Tony Gemignani comes out in Tony and and the Pizza Champions. Haven’t seen it myself but A) I like pizza B) I like non-fiction C) I like illustrator Matthew Trueman (who I’m going to start doing some […]
I forgot to sacrifice a videotape beneath a bright full moon, so this week the Video Gods were less fruitful than I would have liked. Here’s what I was able to scrounge up. I think Chronicle Books really has a good feel on how a picture book trailer should go. Their vids have a certain […]
In rapid quick-fire motion I have to compile the great videos I found over the last two weeks. Last week, as you will recall, my entire system got thrown for a loop by Jarrett K’s greatest video of all time. Now I’m doing clean up duty to make up for my overindulgence. *sigh* Were it […]
BOOK BY BOOK: the making of a monkey man from Jarrett Krosoczka on Vimeo. I should really blog about Adam Rex more. Seriously, though, I am sort of stunned by this. Jarrett Krosoczka has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I now have life goal. To someday be in a Krosoczka film. I […]
This week I begin Video Sunday with a video that I cannot embed here (horrors!). It appears that a film crew from Telemundo 47 stopped by the other day to visit my quaint unassuming library. While there they interviewed one of my clever pages, Ms. DeLeon. I was not around, which is fine since I […]

Oh, Digital Marketing Team at Macmillan, will you marry me? Behold and digest how a book is made. Required viewing for all persons working, or having formerly worked, in the publishing industry. You will adore the salary that is mentioned at one point. Trust me. Thanks to Bookninja for the link. Doggone it Patrick Carman. […]
I begin, today, with something brilliant. If you do not enjoy watching children speak in thick English accents about the books they love then you, sir, have no soul. This was created by Candy Gourlay and played recently on her blog Notes from the Slush Pile. Something to cheer you up on a chilly day. […]
