Library Data (A-M) is a supplement which covers the majority of the important library entries from the published Traveller adventures. [2]

Reception

William A. Barton reviewed Library Data (A-M) in The Space Gamer No. 46. [2] Barton commented that "I have no real complaints at all with Library Data (A-M) – except that I wish it could have been possible to include the rest of the alphabet without dropping any of the present entries. I think you'll find it the best source of information on the Traveller universe anywhere." [2]

Bob McWilliams reviewed Library Data (A-M) for White Dwarf #28, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10 for the novice (and 7 for the expert), and stated that "this is an important reference work for all Traveller players and referees who use the official Traveller campaign as a background for their adventures."
