Extra points for:
- Beginning the video with a book going into the return.
- The orchestral soundtrack.
- Making the books take a trip in an elevator and up an escalator (seriously, the escalator’s genius).
- Incorporating a zipline.
- Multiple camera angles.
- An insane amount of double takes as the giant book tower falls.
It might not be the largest in the world, but for my money, it’s the best one yet.
