Johnny Bunko book trailer

Last week, my friend Dan Pink sent me a copy of his latest book, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need, a cool manga style graphic novel that offers wise career advice for young people. He's created a fun "trailer" for the book, too. Here it is.

Mark Frauenfelder is the founder of Boing Boing and the editor-in-chief of MAKE and Cool Tools. Twitter: @frauenfelder. Come and hear Mark speak at the ALA conference in Chicago on July 1.

Another entertaining bit of transmedia in action. I hope more authors do trailers for their books!

Isn’t that like predicting that the Bible will flop because only Christians will be interested? Who writes books trying to get the entire populace to buy them – Michael Crichton, Barbara Cartland, Danielle Steele?

Way clever. Kudos to whoever thought this up.
