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:
“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
