Papermaking, Hardback Edition, 1978
Papermaking (Watson-Guptill Publications, 1978). Like Printmaking Today, this lavishly illustrated volume–published simultaneously in hard-cover and paperback editions–is a pioneering guide to the art of producing handmade paper.
“[an] attractively produced and well-illustrated book, [which] tells how various kinds of paper are made commercially (by hand and by machine) and individually by artists. [Heller’s] scope is broad with many references to papermaking in the past and with a number of interesting digressions to the making of exotic products such as tapa and amatl…. Particularly worthy of note are the possibilities for innovation, such as in making multicolored paper, paper casts and reliefs, translucent papers and papers from weeds.”
– George A. Agoston, Leonardo, vol. 14, no. 4 (Autumn, 1981), p. 343.
