I've been waiting for a book of this quality for many years.

You should be commended for the outstanding publication "Badges of America's Finest". This is truly dedicated to the old lawman whether he was on the East or West coast. Seeing some of the first issue badges from the East Coast was truly a pleasure. I know some collectors on the West Coast don't appreciate the East but they are reminded that "The Eastern Lawman" was the first law in the United States. I showed the book here at work and women all remark "Why doesn't the current police officer dress with pride and neatness like the old photographs depicted in the book?" They all felt that the era of the lawman although primitive by today's standards took pride in his appearance. This publication serves as a historical contribution to not only badges but old photos from all over the country. The publication was worth waiting for and your hard work, dedication, and overall skills benefit all of us who collect. Exemplary!

I just received Badges of America's Finest, and it's stunning. Quite an achievement and well worth the long wait.

My book arrived while I was at the show, and the word that
comes to mind over and over is OUTSTANDING! The format/ layout and content is incredible! This book will forever be the definitive work on early Police Badges and Memorabilia and really shows just what our hobby is all about.  You have done yourself very proud! CONGRATULATIONS!
All the Best,  Ernie Leves

My Badges of America's Finest just arrived yesterday and I was quite, no, extremely impressed. Although I haven't had time to go through it page by page, I think that it's fantastic! Well done and congratulations. Again, a wonderful job and I hope that it gets the credit due it from the collecting fraternity. Best, Dean Mario, Saskatoon, Canada

I have recently had the pleasure of viewing Jim Casey's latest book, "Badges of America's Finest" and I can honestly tell you that it is very impressive.  It is a must have for the serious collector as well as the casual admirer. The photographs are of such great quality as to jump off of the page. This book will be a beautiful addition to any coffee table, leading to many hours of enjoyment.
