	Books - Sex and the City

Sex and the City is a book by Candace Bushnell based on her and her friends' lifestyles. It was copyrighted in 1996, published in 1997, and re-published in 2001.

The book, like the television series that followed it, takes its name from a column that Bushnell began writing in 1994.

Three of the four main characters in the series get much less space in the book, which gives Bushnell's other friends more space instead. Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbs are almost non-existent in the book, and Samantha Jones appears only slightly more often than Charlotte and Miranda.

These three main characters also have different personalities in the book: Charlotte, a naïve, sometimes prudish American woman in the series, is a sex crazed British girl in the book. Miranda is a lawyer in the series, but a cable executive in the book. In the last season of the series, Samantha dates an actor/model and she plans on staying with him; in the book, she only dated a model for a short period of time.

Other differences: Stanford, a friend of Carrie who gets much more space in the book, was an artist there; in the series, he is a talent agent. Such stars as Francis Ford Coppola and Karl Lagerfeld make cameo appearances in the book.

The book was published by Warner Books.
