WINDERS KEEPERS: THE STORY OF BRITISH TACKLE WINDERS. By Jeff Della Mura. With bonus images from THE FLOAT COLLECTION.

2022 1st edition. 4to (210 x 297mm). Pp343. Colour photographs throughout, colour and b/w illustrations. Red cloth, upper board and spine titled in gilt. Edition limited to 300 signed and numbered copies.

This is the first systematic investigation into the history of anglers' line winders. Bristling with quality coloured images, the book tracks over two hundred years of tackle developments with the help of numerous exemplar winders - many from private collections. Winders Keepers not only boasts the broadest gathering of antique line winders ever seen together, it also showcases a spectacular feast of original floats and fishing tackle.
