This is a softcover book, Tales Of The City by Armistead Maupin. Originally published in 1978, this is a 1996 edition with a new afterword by the author. Here's a synopsis from the publisher: "Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City has blazed a singular 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 six novels about the denizens of the mythic apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane, Tales is both a wry comedy of manners and a deeply involving portrait of a vanished era..." Book is in like-new condition and has never been read. There is a black mark on the bottom of it, the kind of mark they put on books when they're on clearance sale (sorry I forgot to include a pic of the mark, so I'm making sure to tell you it's there). Asking $3.00 obo. Everything I have listed for sale is "or best offer", so feel free to make an offer. ~~~~~ ALL ITEMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL PICKUP. I sell a huge variety of stuff to supplement my income and help me put the last of my kids through college. Some items come from flea markets or estate sales, and some come from around our home, but many items come to me from my extended family of hardcore hoarders. So, the variety really can be vast and unpredictable. Please check back often, because you really never know what I will have from one day to the next! Thanks for visiting and have a great day!
