Hello Mr. Suttles,
I was desiring to find a similar item for similar purposes. I ordered a UBS 4 and, at the time of purchase, the supplied pictures on the Amazon site were of a UBS 3 and even some of the details were of the UBS 4. It was very frustrating, to say the least. I eventually e-mailed Amazon.com and they sent someone to the warehouse location and made "dead certain" of what I was receiving. Come to find out, if I remember correctly (it has been two or more years) it isn't really Amazon's fault, at all. The ISBN numbering is, or was at the time, in a mess.
Who really knows? All I care about is I finally did get a UBS 4 and since then I actually found a small sized, leather bound (cheap leather) N/A 27th which is slightly smaller than the UBS 4. I tried doing some searching a couple years ago to see if I could find more copies of this fantastic edition, and because of yet more ISBN problems, was unsuccessful. Looking back, I would have appreciated either a 2nd,3rd or 4th edition, as I have turned into a minor collector - even coming across two "pocket editions" (quite literally) of Westcott & Horts second and third printings, respectivly.
As a side note, I have a wide margin N/A 26 that I purchased in college, but it is rather large (about the size of a normal Bible). I have enjoyed sitting in bed or in the recliner with that edition.
