While the story was still being serialized, publisher John P. Jewett contracted with Stowe to turn Uncle Tom's Cabin into a book. Convinced the book would be popular, Jewett made the unusual decision (for the time) to have six full-page illustrations engraved for the first printing. Published in book form on March 20, 1852, the novel sold 3,000 copies on that day alone, and over 300,000 within the first year.

The complete serialization appeared almost entirely in the National Era before the book was published, with an overlap of just ten days. Subscriptions to the Era increased by nearly 5,000 during the serialization.
Of similar significance is a great & quite lengthy "Letter From Grace Greenwood", a noted writer & journalist who frequently wrote for the National Era. Her name was actually Sara Jane Lippincott who used Grace Greenwood as her pseudonym. She was one of the first women to gain access to the Congressional press galleries, was the first woman correspondent for the N.Y. Times, and used the opportunity to advocate for social reform and women’s rights while creating a path for future women correspondents.
