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 books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
The books that people talk about we never can recall;
And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.”
—Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)
“Our books of science, as they improve in accuracy, are in danger of losing the freshness and vigor and readiness to appreciate the real laws of Nature, which is a marked merit in the ofttimes false theories of the ancients.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works.”
—Robert Burton (1577–1640)
