Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the operations of the United States Government Printing Office during the tenure of Public Printer Charles A. Stillings. Upon his appointment in 1906, Stillings embarked on an ambitious modernization program that transformed the Printing Office into one of the largest and most complex industrial establishments in the country. The author meticulously examines Stillings's implementation of a cost accounting system and his overhaul of the office's bookkeeping system, highlighting both the benefits and drawbacks of these changes. The book also investigates Stillings's controversial decision to hire the Audit System, a private company with ties to the printing industry, to assist with these reforms. These actions would raise concerns about improprieties in the awarding of contracts and the overall financial management of the Printing Office. Ultimately, this book sheds light on the challenges and pitfalls of large-scale bureaucratic reform, offering valuable lessons for those seeking to improve the efficiency and accountability of government institutions.
