My anthology Noticing: An Essential Reader: 1973-2023 is available directly from my publisher, Passage Press, in paperback for $29.95. For free shipping within the United States, try using promo codes STANCIL or WILSON. (I can’t promise that these deals will always remain in effect.)
If you really appreciate superbly made books, there are a few dozen of the 500 leatherbound Patrician edition hardcovers left for sale from Passage at $395.00 (domestic shipping included).
We make more money when you buy from Passage rather than Amazon, but I can’t deny that Amazon is good at logistics. Amazon sells the Kindle digital version for immediate download at $29.95. Amazon also can deliver the $29.95 paperback very quickly domestically and fairly economically to overseas customers.
Other digital formats besides Kindle will be available in the future.
There are currently plans for me to record an audio version of Noticing, but no definite date.
Blurbs for Noticing:
Tucker Carlson wrote:
“If the meritocracy were real, Steve Sailer would be one of the most famous writers in the world. Someday, historians will revere him. In the meantime, read this book.”
Charles Murray, co-author of The Bell Curve, noted:
I have been reading Steve Sailer for more than twenty years. He is that rare columnist who tells you things you need to know, prompts you to rethink your positions, and has a long record of being right on the big issues. I hope Noticing introduces him to the broader audience he deserves.
Anna Khachiyan, co-host of Red Scare, blurbs:
If I had my way, Steve Sailer would be a household name. Now that his greatest hits are finally under one roof, it’s easier than ever to imagine a reality where he is.
British opinion journalist Ed West explains:
Who is this Steve Sailer? I've certainly never read this controversial writer with his "human biodiversity" theories which I'm sure I completely condemn. Please don't destroy my career!
Sailer is probably the most influential conservative thinker that most of you haven't heard of, or at least pretend you haven't heard of. All the best writers read and absorb his ideas, and he is the figure who most comes up at the more intellectual gatherings of conservatives.
Sailer has consistently produced interesting content down the years, and is not afraid - I mean, that's an understatement - to explore any theory. In this sense he comes from the finest tradition of independent-minded Anglo-American free inquiry, even if he is unfortunate that he lives in an age where his ideas are most offensive. Most of all what I like about Sailer is that he's interested in knowing stuff, because knowing things is fun and interesting.
His political views are probably a huge hindrance to financial and career success, and yet he has treated the most obvious dishonesty from opponents, and the enrichment of ideological drones and frauds, with good humour, all in a way in which Rudyard Kipling would have approved.'
Razib Khan writes:
It is hard not to notice that Steve Sailer is like the "dark matter of American punditry; present only through influence.
Scott Greer:
In a world where we’re not supposed to notice obvious truths, Steve Sailer made his career uncovering this forbidden knowledge in workman-like style. Noticing presents Sailer at his best, arguing for inconvenient facts with data, common sense, and wit. It’s a must-read for those with the eyes to see the real nature of modern America.
Bo Winegard of Aporia:
Steve Sailer is easily one of the most influential modern thinkers, which is remarkable given that he is constantly calumnied by the mainstream press and other activists. "Noticing," a bountiful book of Steve's best essays, is a reminder to all of us who write about human biological diversity: When you think you've had an original thought, check Steve's writings because he probably had it first. Written with clarity and panache, each of the essays is a small treasure; and the book is a veritable trove. Anybody who wants to understand the modern world should read it. Then start noticing.
J. Michael Bailey, professor of psychology at Northwestern U., articulates:
Since the 1990s Steve Sailor has noticed and written about a greater number of interesting and important things than almost any tenured social scientist. Make that most university social science departments. Through it all, he has engaged his nemesis–the War on Noticing–with admirable alacrity. In so many fraught arenas he has earned the right to say: “I told you so.” That is one way to read this volume, but Sailor would likely prefer elevations in honest observation and reasoning. Noticing includes some classics that inspired me, such as “Why Lesbians Aren’t Gay.” Enjoy.
Charlie Kirk enthuses:
In modern America, there is no greater offense than the crime of "noticing," and no man has been a more prolific offender than Steve Sailer. If you don't read Steve, then you don't know how America actually works.
John Derbyshire:
Collected from thirty years of Steve Sailer's print and online commentary, here is realism about human nature and human society from the keyboard of a first-class quantitative journalist expressing himself with clarity, vigor, and wit. All who resent the tyranny of wishful thinking and academic log-rolling in the human sciences should own this book.
Helen Andrews of The American Conservative:
Steve Sailer is a friendly guide to the most contentious topics of our time. The way he has maintained his cheerful good humor for decades while the rest of the world has gone crazy—and craziest of all on the subjects he knows best—is amazing.
