Marketers Turn To Flip Books in Ailing Economy

Right on!! Flipbooks look like a great way to promote sporting events. I just came across a company called TruAction Flix, they have a patented flipbook that has 4 clips & looks like a video game controller. Check it out http://www.truactionflix.com

Cool! Thanks for the link. I watched the demo on their site and it's really neat because it's really a 4-way flipbook!
