Last time this was offered I said "So far I've only checked out one volume, which ran to 130 pages and had some fun stuff on organized crime, some interesting ships, and so forth. Presentation is good and art is adequate although you have to wonder why the cover of volume 10 (below), showing characters in combat, has one character (possibly male, you can't really tell) wearing full body armour while a woman who appears to be part of the same team is wearing some belts of equipment but otherwise has her upper torso and head unarmoured and exposed. Not quite a brass bikini but close...
I think it's a reasonable deal at about $25 if you want lots of relatively unrelated material for the system - but something more structured may be a better idea for someone who isn't spending a LOT of time playing the game.And again I forgot to post this when the bundle opened - many apologies!"
I think that this is still true - this is useful material for GMs who are already familiar with the Traveller universe and can cherry-pick ideas from articles that aren't necessarily similar in theme etc. New GMs may feel a bit lost at first.
