Introducing . . . 2619 Hyperion

From 1927 until 1952, the Hyperion Station Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library was located exactly one block west of the location of Walt Disney's Hyperion Avenue Studios, the address of which, 2719 Hyperion Avenue, we celebrate and commemorate here. I have no doubt that throughout the 1930s, Disney artists and staff likely patronized this small but noble establishment.

In honor of that obscure, but still potentially notable association, 2719 Hyperion introduces 2619 Hyperion, inspired by the actual address of the Hyperion Station Branch. We have created 2619 Hyperion to serve as resource for the cataloging and reviewing of printed material relating to the life of Walt Disney and the history of the Walt Disney Company.

Here we have collected reviews from the original 2719 Hyperion Archives, and added the extensive collection of reviews from Imaginerding.com. Going forward, book reviews presented on 2719 Hyperion will be archived there.

Most importantly, we want 2619 Hyperion to serve as an interactive resource. Please express your opinions and provide feedback via the comments sections associated with each review.
