New York: The Viking Press, 1963. First edition. Near fine in very good dust jacket.. First printing of the second HENRY REED title, in which a cross-country road trip with his friend Midge inspires him to try his hand at guidebook-writing. The HENRY REED series follows the business-minded son of a US American diplomat as he engages in various money-making shenanigans, written as a series of journal entries (but, Henry insists, NOT as a diary). HENRY REED'S JOURNEY is one of four titles in the series to feature illustrations by double Caldecott Medal-winning artist Robert McCloskey. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original brown cloth boards with red stamped design. (truncated)
