What's a BookTube.net?

A BookTube is a video about a book - see what we did there? Combined Book (evoking a book) with Tube (conveying the idea of a video screen) to suggest a Video about a Book - clever huh! Oh well, please yourself.
  Of course, we're using the word 'video' rather loosely (so it could be an animation, live action, graphics, or even an interactive experience) and 'book' too come to that (so it could be anything from a self-contained short story to a multi-volume or even multi-media publication).
  But what we hope will be consistent is the entertainment value. We want you to enjoy each BookTube and we want you to share them with your friends. And of course, we hope that you'll like the BookTube enough to buy the book!
