As someone who loves books and movies, I thought this is a pretty creative marketing method. I've seen a lot of them and a few are good enough to be movie trailers.
The book trailer is kind of like the log line. You show the who, what, where and why a reader should care. There's a choice of using actual actors like the trailer for "Five Kingdoms, Sky Raiders" with choice reviews and comments sprinkled between. These trailers are like movie trailers, they include choice dialogue and pieces of scenes.
The second type is more like CGI and art working together to both illustrate the book and hold up the reviews and such, like the trailer for "The School for Good and Evil".
I'm not sure how cheap or expensive it is to make a trailer, I guess it depends on who you go to and maybe the way you choose to make it.
