Perigee Books, originally created as the trade paperback imprint for G. P. Putnam's Sons, has featured an eclectic range of titles from virtually every category of publishing, both fiction and nonfiction. One of the earliest, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, is now the only work of fiction in a list otherwise devoted to prescriptive nonfiction. Among the perennial bestsellers are The Out-of-Sync Child, Signing Illustrated, Fearless Living, The Girlfriend’s Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood, Curves, the Strong Women series and The Complete Guide to Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs. Featured Perigee authors include Carol Kranowitz, Rhonda Britten, Vicki Iovine, and Miriam Nelson, PhD.
