The Nautical Almanacs I compared (2013 vs. 2020) were both published by Paradise Cay. The 2020 is from Celestaire. That's probably where I got the 2013, but I can't remember. They are the same size but in the 2020 edition all the printed matter (except the tables on the bookmark) is reduced in size. There's also a difference in the blue color of the covers, but it's so subtle I can't see it unless the books are side by side. For years I have been using the 2013 almanac for Sun rise, set, and twilight times and so I'm accustomed to its appearance. As soon as I opened my 2020 edition I noticed the smaller print. Since someone mentioned this last December, the change must have occurred in the editions 2014 - 2018.
