Subscriber lists Many 18th- and 19th century books come with lists of those who pledged to buy a copy if not several copies. This lists are extremely valuable to understand who felt attracted to read a certain book. FactGrid would be an ideal medium to gather and aggregate such information since here we can be completely happy with information that does not create more than a handful of triples on these names: Gender, family name, usually occupation or status, place of home address and name of the respective book. Exemplary subscribers list: List of subscribers to: Leben und Thaten des weisen Junkers Don Quixote von Mancha (1777). Example of a subscriber: Johann August Ludecus
