In 2008, after Joe's Law was published, Arpaio said "One thing I don’t do is lie. I was very careful writing this book. I wrote it like I was testifying in court." In a 2009 deposition in the Melendres vs. Arpaio racial-profiling lawsuit, when asked if Joe's Law reflected his opinions, Arpaio answered "I am not sure...To the best of my knowledge, I haven't reviewed the book recently. In fact, I haven't even read the book...totally." In later trial testimony in the case, Arpaio repudiated several passages in the book, claiming that they were written by his co-author.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“The society would permit no books of fiction in its collection because the town fathers believed that fiction ‘worketh abomination and maketh a lie.’”
—For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
