Country Joe is a big enough name probably to get a larger
publisher than Creative Arts in Berkeley, depending upon the
nature of your book.
However, that's the firm that brought out my current book. It has
one great merit: the publisher is a Berkeleyan, Berkeley High
School product, of Joe's generation. He is uniquely Berkeley, in
that he is entirely openminded without being committed to any
ideology.
