By the time you’re watching this trailer, it’s probably too late to learn to cook a turkey in time for Thanksgiving dinner, even if said learning would only take four hours. Luckily, The 4-Hour Chef author Tim Ferriss wants you to know how to do a bunch of other stuff, too–use knives! memorize things! speak [...]

In this quick little trailer, Neil Gaiman. Tells us that he. Went to China. And held a baby giant panda. Who was the inspiration. For Chu’s Day. In summary: Baby giant panda. Baby giant panda. Baby giant panda. Baby panda. Sneezes. I can’t help but wonder though. If perhaps Neil Gaiman. Like 150,000,000 other people. [...]

BTT wants to mesmerize your Thursday troubles away. This trailer for In the Air depicts author/illustrator Brian Biggs’ time-lapse drawing of the cover for this latest entry in the Everything Goes series.

Here’s something new and clever in Trailerland that I’ve never seen before: Antoine Wilson’s “mockumentary” of filming a book trailer for Panorama City, complete with Rainn Wilson cameo and lots of highly technical stage directions.

Whenever “staying dead” is in question, I tend to stay away, so it should come as no surprise that Goosebumps were never my [...]

The dancing mutt (for the curious: border collie, bichon frise, and Chinese crested), first canine victor of Britain’s Got Talent, quickly pawed a book deal after winning the TV show’s half-a-million-pound prize. His forthcoming autobidography will chart his “early life, before he found fame and fortune,” according to the UK’s [...]

If you’re wondering where you’ll get your productivity-boosting dose of cute today, BTT is here to help. Cue majestic score and behold: Puppyhood. As for a review, well… After naming it the Booklist Top of the “books we would rather selfishly keep for ourselves than share with reviewers” List and further deciding there wasn’t one [...]

How many pupils do you have? This book trailerite cartoon man has two… in each eye. We better pay attention to what he has to say. Keir’s starred review tells us that the rolly-eye doctor and apparent mythology expert is the cultish headmaster of a school for troubled teens, the backdrop for this “wonderful and [...]
