"An extended love letter to a magical San Francisco." -- New York Times Book Review

The novel that spawned the beloved and enduring Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin's groundbreaking and hugely successful San Francisco saga -- now available as a special Harper Perennial Olive Edition.

For almost four decades, Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed a unique trail through popular culture -- from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel to a television event that entranced millions around the world. The first of nine novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales of the City is both a sparkling comedy of manners and an indelible portrait of an era that forever changed the way we live.

Harper Perennial Olive Editions are exclusive small-format editions of some of our bestselling and celebrated titles, and feature unique hand-drawn cover illustrations. All Olive Editions are available for a limited time only.
