Patrons of the Press reveals how readers funded books in early North Carolina. This study traces the subscription model that helped publish and distribute titles from 1733 to 1850, showing how subscribers shaped what got printed and when.

The book examines who subscribed, what they promised, and how publishers used these pledges to bring works into the world. It highlights the role of subscribers as patrons of the press, and it explains why the price and timing of publication mattered to communities across the state.

• How subscription lists worked to move a book from proposal to publication


• What subscriber names, titles, and places of residence can reveal about readers of the era
