“An extended love letter to a magical San Francisco.”—New York Times Book Review

The novel that spawned the entire Tales of the City series, Armistead Maupin’s hugely successful San Francisco saga. This limited edition is a part of the HarperCollins American Classics collection, published in celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary.

For almost four decades Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City has blazed its own trail through popular culture—from a groundbreaking newspaper serial to a classic novel, to a television event that entranced millions around the world.
