Without actually listing all the titles, GDW produced:
Books 0-8
Supplements 1-13
Adventures 1-13
Double Adventures 1-6
Aliens 1-8
JTAS 1-24
Large format booklets: Atlas of the Imperium
The Spinward Marches Campaign
Alien Realms
Books: The Traveller Book (rules, hard and soft cover versions)
The Traveller Adventure
Boxed Sets: Tarsus
Belt Strike
Games: Mayday
Snapshot
Azhanti High Lightning
Invasion Earth
Fifth Frontier War
Miniatures Rules: Striker
A few other exotic bits from GDW exist, such as the "Map of the Imperium"
they used to give away at cons, an Aliens handout, and a free booklet called
"Introduction to Traveller", plus various maps of the Spinward Marches.
The rules exist in the following main versions:
Traveller <three booklets in box>
Deluxe Traveller <five booklets, including "The Imperial Fringe" adventure
only found in this set>
Starter Traveller <Two 8 1/2 by 11 booklets plus versions of the double
adventures "Shadows" and "Mission on Mithril">
The Traveller Book
Various foreign language versions exist as well. I'm very favorably impressed
with the choice of materials in the German edition.
Supplements by other companies (but not their magazines) can be found listed
in "Heroic Worlds" by Lawrence Schick, still in print as far as I know. The
publisher is Prometheus Press, and I got mine on special order from the local
Walden Books, so it can't be too hard to find.
All this discussion of Classic Traveller caused me to restack my collection
a couple of days ago, so it's all fresh in my mind at the moment. (-:
