Book trailers quandary

[anghara]

The long and the short of it - all the cool kids are doing it. (Or having it done for them. I don't know. Ye gods, it isn't cheap.)

So - what do you think, folks?

I have to start thinking about the logistics of this, if the feeling is positive towards having one. Do any of y'all know someone who is in the business of producing these whom you can recommend...?

I'm not generally keen on book trailers. The ones I've seen aren't well done, and when they are, I still don't have a clue what the book is about because the whole thing was a voice over, and I'm hearing impaired.

I'd rather read the back flap and see excerpts. It doesn't hurt to have people talking about the book too. I have bought books I would never have picked up because other people have talked about them, and enjoyed them.
