contents We prove that a subset $A\subseteq [1, N]$ with \[\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n} \ge (\log N)^{4/5 + o(1)}\] contains a subset $B$ such that \[\sum_{n\in B} \frac{1}{n} = 1.\] Our techniques refine those of Croot and of Bloom. Using our refinements, we additionally consider a number of questions regarding unit fractions due to Erdős and Graham.
