TurnHere, Inc., the online video solutions platform, just announced the unveiling of the new multi-publisher book-centric network, Bookvideos.tv . The main page top spot at the moment goes to Chasing Harry Winston, the new novel by Lauren Weisberger and she talks about the huge role inspiration-wise New York City has played in her work in the book trailer. Below her are the other eight featured book trailers of the moment and the site includes author profile pages, news and information about publishers, as well as a Facebook page for the site’s fans (sorry Myspace, you’re out).
Bookvideos.tv, which initially offered book and author videos exclusively from Simon & Schuster, now also showcases works from Bantam Dell, Chronicle, Penguin Group (USA), Doubleday Broadway, Hachette Book Group, Loyola Press, MacMillan, Thomas Nelson and WW Norton on the updated site.
What’s also interesting are the three buy links. The usual link to Amazon and Barnes & Noble is there, but instead of the obligatory (and useless for buyers) link to Booksense most sites have, it looks like Powell’s is the independent store of choice for consumers to go to.
