Classic Traveller Facsimile Edition currently free at dtrpg.

Reviews say the scan/OCR aren't great, but free, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ?

Looking through the PDF it's mostly readable, some headings aren't perfect.
I'd be disappointed if I'd paid the full price. It's very text heavy with
little black and white line artwork, probably a reflection of the time it was
made.

> This is the original text of the 1981 edition of Classic Traveller based on

> It includes Books 1-2-3, with errata and corrections inserted (where possible;

When I ran a Classic Traveller Campaign I used The Traveller Book. That
was my all-in-one solution. I'm not enough of a Traveller nerd to know
what the differences are. I suspect there weren't many? Chris Kubasik
has an opinion, though: https://talestoastound.wordpress.com/2015/10/30/
