It's been a few years since I bought a Nautical Almanac. Upon opening the 2020 Commercial Edition I immediately noticed the characters looked smaller than expected. So I looked at the 2013 edition and yes, my memory was not playing tricks. The books are the same size but the print has become smaller in the daily pages, correction tables, and explanatory material. Only the font of the bookmark seems unchanged. The small print was briefly mentioned last December but I don't think it was investigated further. What was the reason for the change? Although I won't say the new look is hard to read, the 2013 edition is a little easier on my eyes.
