Last night, Edelman hosted a book signing for “Front Row Seat,” a photography book by Eric Draper, the Bush Administration’s White House Photographer, and trust us the crowd that turned out was worth getting there early and grabbing a front row seat for. With many Bush Administration favorites popping in to support Draper’s work, which highlights the administration and some of it’s most memorable moments, the evening ended up being a fun get together of DC politicos, journalists, communication pros and many more. Check out a couple photos below of George W. Bush for a sneak peak and be sure to snag your own copy. Trust us, it’ll impress your mom next time she’s visiting and sees it on the coffee table.
