More about Perspective Publishing Perspective Publishing, Inc. 2528 Sleepy Hollow Dr. #A Glendale, CA 91206 Phone: 818-502-1270 Fax: 818-502-1272 Ordering: 1-800-330-5851 email: lgp@familyhelp.com My name is Linda Goodman Pillsbury (this picture is a few years old) and I started Perspective Publishing nine years ago when I put together and published a guide to finding childcare in Los Angeles. My background was in the entertainment business where I worked for eight years in various production and development jobs. I had found childcare for my daughter and so many people asked me how I found it and what was available that I decided there should be a book on it. So I put one together. My then 3-year-old did the illustrations, I had it printed, and I was in business. Needless to say, I learned by doing. It did well and I had so much fun that I decided to update and expand it, and I brought out Childcare Southern California. The childcare books were too time-consuming to continue to update, but by then I was hooked on publishing, had two young children, and had problems I needed solutions to. My older daughter was a whiner and I asked Cynthia Whitham what to do about it. She told me about the Parent training Program at UCLA, and told me step-by step what to do. I did everything she said and three days later the whining was cut in half! I couldn't believe it. I knew we had to let other people know what to do to. About two years later she was done with Win the Whining War & Other Skirmishes. I got Barry Wetmore, a professional artist and a parent at my daughter's school, to do illustrations for the book and I published it. It has been very successful; it's in it's 4th printing and has even been translated into French. You can see the rest of the books I've done since then on our catalogue page.
