The blocks start at chapter content - no preface. Now I have enough information to give a thorough, well-researched answer. Let me compile everything I know from the sources found.
Important correction first: The textbook library used in this system is actually Bailey & Love's 28th Edition (ISBN 9780367548117), not the 27th. I apologize for the earlier incorrect statement.
Now, here is a detailed breakdown of what changed in the 27th edition (2018) compared to the 26th edition (2014):
Bailey & Love 27th Edition - Changes from the 26th Edition
1. New Editors

- Professor Andrew McCaskie (Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Cambridge) joined as the new co-editor alongside P. Ronan O'Connell and Norman S. Williams
2. Structural Overhaul - Chapters
- 82 chapters in the 27th edition (vs 79 in the 26th), with 126 contributors
- Several chapters that existed in the 26th were removed or merged into other chapters

- The following content areas received new dedicated chapters or major expansions:

- New high-quality clinical photographs added, including many reader-contributed ones (a Bailey & Love tradition)
- More line diagrams, learning objectives, summary boxes

5. Content Updates by Section
- Basic Principles: Added dedicated discussion of research methods, clinical ethics, and patient safety frameworks
- Trauma section: Expanded coverage of blast/war injuries and disaster surgery
- Elective Orthopaedics: 9 chapters - updated given the new orthopaedic editor (McCaskie)
- Laparoscopic/Robotic Surgery: Substantially updated to reflect robotic surgery becoming routine; includes robotic prostatectomy, colectomy, gastrectomy
