It describes itself as a publisher of "hard-to-find books and recordings from a dissident, 'politically incorrect' perspective."[5] The publisher offered a means for holocaust deniers to sell and publish their writings,[1] and many of its books deny the holocaust, it and World War II revisionism being its two leading categories.[6][7]

Another source said that as of 2005 they were "the major publisher of antisemitic, revisionist, and racist texts in the United States".[8] Noontide Press is also the distributor of the remaining backstock of books published by Ralph Myles,[5] a company set up by libertarian revisionist historian James J. Martin, who sold the remaining stock of Ralph Myles books to the IHR before his death.[9]
