Full of extraordinary images, many never before published, Draper's book gives a compelling, behind-the-scenes view of the entire presidency of George W.

Bush for the whole eight years of his presidency. Prior to serving in the White House, Draper worked as West Regional Enterprise Photographer for the Associated Press and as a staff photographer for the Seattle Times, Pasadena Star-News, and Albuquerque Tribune.
"Front Row Seat" features a foreword written by President George W. Bush and is edited by Dr. Don E. Carleton, executive director of the The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin.
