Heath wrote several books in the second half of the 1970s: ''Sailing'', ''Music'', and ''Travels''. He also compiled a collection of carols called ''The Joy of Christmas'', published in 1978 by Oxford University Press, which contained the music and lyrics to a wide variety of Christmas carols, each accompanied by a reproduction of a piece of religious art and a short introduction by Heath.

Heath's autobiography, ''The Course of My Life'', appeared in 1998. According to his obituary in ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', this "had involved dozens of researchers and writers (some of whom he never paid) over many years".<ref>{{cite news |title=Obituary: Sir Edward Heath |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/7868577/Sir-Edward-Heath.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/7868577/Sir-Edward-Heath.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=23 November 2010 |work=The Daily Telegraph |location=London |date=18 July 2005}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
