I quite agree -- it is vastly inferior to the nice-looking third edition.
One of the annoyances to me about NA27 in comparison with NA26 is that it is
no longer pocket size! One always used to be able to pop NA26 into one's
jacket pocket on the way to a seminar but alas no more with NA27. Most
inconvenient!
