Book TV has updated and improved their site. It’s loaded with video, audio, calendars, etc. It really is a much improved experience. Kudos to the folks behind the scenes. It’s fun poking around all of the interviews and appearances. Of course, please feel free to ignore anything that might reinforce stereotypes about my beloved Birmingham and the South.

Speaking of video, the mystery has been solved…

it turns out that Bookvideos.tv is a Simon and Schuster project. So far, it has been nothing great. Though it is half-way interesting to see what these mega-selling authors look/sound like. Most of the videos are ad-ish and don’t offer much insight. It is going to be interesting to see how all the big houses start cranking out ‘new media’ initiatives to help drive sales.
