first book focusing on Best's art was released in 1996 entitled "A Brush with Light". In July 2007 a second book called "Secrets of the Brush" was released which Best describes as "the final chapter in my life". The book reproduces photos of many of his most popular works, as well as covering his life, his career, and people and places of significance to his art. The book also covered his painting techniques to allow others to bring to light their own painting abilities. The 2010 "Top Ten Australian Artists 30th Anniversary" written by Kevin Hill, included the painting "Topping The Rise" as one of the best examples of Kevin Best's work.
