In the new millennium, multimedia devices like PDAs (heralded by Apple‘s Newton in 1992) have enabled buyers to preview products. For cookbooks (another books and products), this includes videos.

UK-based publisher Phaidon has developed a “Silver Spoon” section on its website, which supports promotional articles — and videos.

Do you find videos of cookbooks effective?

Before you answer, please watch Phaidon’s latest about its cookbook Sicily. (See review from earlier this week.)
