The Washington Post recently released a video profile of GPO's Head Forwarder, Peter James in their "Federal Eye: Keeping Tabs on the Government" online series by Ed O'Keefe. This video features a marbling demonstration and background information about the specialized services GPO provides in crafting important government documents.
Mr. James has worked for GPO for 10 years building, binding, and marbling government documents. Examples of his work are seen in the U.S Code, in official tributes to former presidents, and other important documents such as the findings of the 9/11 Commission. Before coming to GPO, Peter worked as an apprentice for some of the best print shops in London where he honed his craft.
