Tom, actually I wanted to ask you when we can expect “Part II”? I like it very much, especially the stories behind the passports! Great job my friend and keep writing. (R.S., SG)

Your book definitely tells a lot about the history of passports and I applaud you for the effort that you put into writing the book. (Benjamin Durham, CH)

Tom, I received LET PASS OR DIE today. I’m pleased you invested in good printing, as the images are excellent. I’m looking forward to reading it and passing on purchase details to ex-colleagues from the UK Immigration National Document Fraud Unit. (S.A., UK)

I’ve got the book yesterday, it has many knowledge’s about passports and history. Very useful for me. (Jenwit, TH)

When I started to read the book, I understood how less I know about passports when an expert talks about them with passion. At the first glace, passports, which we see every day become even more interesting. (Pavel, BR)

I am reading the first chapters of the book and I love the theme and how it is addressed. Without a doubt it is a very interesting book. (Marcos, AG)

I am not a passport collector but I saw someone reading your book in the train during my business trip and it caught my attention. So I bought it.

Your book arrived and what a thing of beauty it is.

The book is fantastic! Really enjoying it. It will definitely be in our reading list for the online collection. (Karin, USA)

Your book is awesome, I can learn a lot about passport collecting! (Robert, USA)

I have begun my delighted perusing of your book. The stories of Lou Gehrig, the Confederate Brigadier General, Thomas, the bogus passport of Freud plus the Titanic survivor, Edith Brown Haussmann – all fascinating! (Susan, USA)

The story of how Israel issued me a passport with a Colander on my head has been published in a book about the history of passports, titled “Let Pass or Die”, by Tom Topol, a passport history expert. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster bless his sauces. (Michael Afanasyev, @DocSpaghetti)
