This research analyzes the books published in Chungju and Gongju where the provincial offices of Chungcheong-do were located, and Cheongju which was the geographical and strategic center of Chungcheong area in the Joseon Period. The findings of this research are as follows:First, books were very frequently published in Chungju and Gongju, when provincial offices were located in these cities. It proves that one of the most significant functions of provincial offices was to publish books. Second, about 71 percent of books published in Cheongju which was the geographical strategic point of the central area in the Joseon Period lack the dates of publication. It proves that its regional government rarely published books, and many books in the class of 'Miscellaneous Topics' were locally published to meet the continuing need for everyday life in the local area. The books published in Chungcheong area in the Joseon Period show that those books published in Chungju and Gongju were mostly government publications ordered by the central government and most books published in Cheongju were for local demand.
