.# Keith Harwood has had a lifelong obsession with floats and float fishing and has put together the most complete float book ever published, covering all aspects of the history and design of this most humble piece of angling equipment. Edition limited to 499 copies of which 99 are bound in leather. Now out-of-print and very highly sought after. This is a copy of the leather-bound edition*. Strangely, for a de luxe edition, not all copies were signed by the author. This copy, however, was signed for us by Keith Harwood at the launch of his 2016 book, Angling Books: A Collector's Guide.
