For those of you playing the home version of Imaginerding, I have posted a new book review at 2719 Hyperion, the site that I co-edit with Jeff Pepper.

This book was a lot of fun and offered a lot of little-known details about Walt's time in Missouri: Marceline, Kansas City and St. Louis.

Head on over and check it out. Leave a comment over there and let me know what you think about the review!
