Although it might have made sense to publish Michael’s manuscript under a title such as The Zen of Small Business Marketing, we had already announced that we were publishing a Nolo-style workbook that not only provided the intellectual foundation for why marketing without advertising works but also a lot of detailed “how-to” specifics SALLI RASBERRY Enter Salli Rasberry, who has successfully run a dozen small businesses in fields as varied as book fairs (the first San Francisco International), publishing companies (New Glide Publications and Clear Glass Press), documentary films, business consulting, and writing (coauthor with Michael Phillips of The Seven Laws of Money and Honest Business, among others) Currently she is vice president of the Sonoma Land Trust, a private nonprofit that preserves and protects the land forever through conservation easements or outright ownership A pioneer in the fields of education and values-based living, Rasberry is involved in the design and development of an innovative model for a rural home-care center for the elderly in northern California An artist and avid gardener, she initiated the Coffin Garden Project, where artists, gardeners, and others are invited to express their feelings about death in a setting of natural beauty and serenity Salli’s job was to add a few pounds of order and a bushel of passion to Michael’s manuscript She did this brilliantly, at the same time that her honesty, compassion, and general niceness made the always-difficult task of turning a good manuscript into an excellent book a real pleasure Other Books by Phillips and Rasberry The Seven Laws of Money (Pocket Classics, Shambhala Publications) Honest Business (Pocket Classics, Shambhala Publications) The Briarpatch Book (ed.)
