"Everyone, or at least almost every angler, knows that carp fishers are mad, but this diary, that was never intended for publication, reveals levels of madness that most carp fishers never reach". *The total edition was limited to 1489 copies of which the first few were bound in leather with the remaining copies bound in cloth. This is a numbered copy of one of the cloth-bound editions. It is signed by the author, Chris Yates, and comes with the original photograph of Chris fishing in a punt and facsimile of the author's hand-drawn map of Redmire Pool that was issued with the book. Both the cloth-bound and the leather-bound editions are long out of print and becoming very scarce.
