My notes suggest there was much more Traveller material, particularly if you count Jim's "Harrison Chapters" fiction and a bit of 2300AD material.

I've not seen these in the flesh as it were, so if anyone has copies of these in an attic and would be prepared to answer questions about them, I'd appreciate it.

cheers
