Garnett wrote a memoir entitled First Pulse: A Personal Journey in Cancer Research, intended for the non-specialist and non-scientist. It is illustrated with paintings by his daughter, New York-based artist Joy Garnett.
Paul Bingham, a biochemist at the Department of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, The State University of New York at Stony Brook is quoted on the book jacket:
"Merrill Garnett is a true original--a person in pursuit of a profoundly humane goal along career and personal paths quite unlike anyone else I have ever met. Merrill is one of the rare individuals for whom 'doing well by doing good' isn't a superficial slogan but rather is truly second nature. In this book Merrill has produced a fascinating, intensely personal account of his 40 year quest for effective cancer treatments. I'm sure most readers will react to the book as I did. I was engaged and captivated--both at the personal and at the scientific levels. In this era of bureaucratized science, people like Merrill are increasingly rare and increasingly important. Readers are treated to a deep, clear look into this world."
