Here’s an example of how books are marketed these days. I’ve admired David Mitchell for some time, particularly for his brilliant Cloud Atlas.
Thanks to my friend Anthony Levings for the tip.

I like the Captain Pugwash-style animation.
I'm looking forward to Mitchell's new book. When Cloud Atlas won the "Richard and Judy Book Club Reader's Choice" award a few years ago, it restored my faith in the reading public.
Yes, the reading public can still surprise you occasionally. Celeb memoirs seem to be on the decline, for instance….
I hadn't seen this – thanks. It's rather good. I like the way it doesn't give much away.
