Graphic novel The Night Bookmobile up in weekly installments

I love books about books, especially when they show a love of books or reading. Do you like reading stories about books? How about a graphic novel about a night bookmobile?

Well, Guardian is putting up weekly installments of graphic novel The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger. I really enjoyed the first two installments (just a page each); I can feel the book love in them. I want more, already! (laughing)

There’s a handy-dandy enlargement tool to make it easier to read online (the magnifying glass with a plus sign in its center at the bottom right of the image)

Not only is this great fun for readers, but it’s also–you guessed it–good book promotion! If I enjoy the next few pages, I know I’ll want to find the book, and not wait for a page to come out every week. Plus it’s good exposure for the author and the novel–getting it in our minds.

What do you think? Does it appeal to you?

Thanks to Shelf Awareness for the info.
