Printmaking Today: An Introduction to the Graphic Arts (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1958). The first studio handbook published in the U.S., this richly illustrated volume quickly became the standard text for college courses. It still holds a place of honor on the bookshelves of many artists and educators.

“Heller calls ‘Printmaking Today’ a studio handbook but it is a great deal more than that. It is informative, with much reference material, delightful to read and a joy to look at. Seldom does a book achieve so much.”
– Romas Viesulas, Leonardo, vol. 7, no. 4, Autumn 1974, p. 373
Printmaking Today, 2nd ed (paperback), 1972 (Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc.)
His book, Printmaking Today, was…“the first to present a holistic view of printmaking, with technical advice and direction in all four areas of the graphic arts: intaglio, lithography, relief, and screenprinting… a landmark publication.”
