Its great, just be careful, we are still finding all those smuggling compartments, and after 200 years you never know what is in them (on crewman," Hey, look what I found . . . the Hope Diamond, a left handed screwdriver, and a bucket of steam. Oh, that one under your feet has the map to the Lost City of Atlantis." reply, "By all the gods of all the people of all the worlds in the Imperium, how many more compartments are there?!? And what else are we going to find?" the other customs inspector, "These is no way I am reporting any of this, no one would believe that a ship of this size has this many smuggling compartments, let alone all the crap that is in them. Come on, let's just back to our ship and report this one as clean and safe. . . . PLEASE?")

Interesting. Mine arrived on Monday, and would have had to undergo the extra leg from Sydney to Melbourne to boot (unless they came in through Melbourne for some reason, which would explain the one day delay on yours).
Edit: Actually, mine was postmarked 25 Apr, so it was actually the better part of a week slower than yours.
I got mine yesterday. I would have gotten it saturday but I wasn't home when the postman came so I had to pick it up from the post office across the street on monday.
It's looking nice. There's a few things in there I have issues with but that's true of every edition of Traveller, truth be told.
The paper certainly isn't one of them. It's white, the printing is crisp on it (rather than being blurred from ink having spread into surrounding areas as it might on poor-quality paper) and it's not glossy at all. (The only thing good about glossy paper is that it's good for color printing)
I've some reservations about character creation but nothing that can't be dealt with with a half dozen houserules or so.
So far, I feel this is actually the overall best version of Traveller yet (to my considerable surprise). It contains rules that will more or less work for absolutely everything that I'm likely to need organized logically and gathered into a single volume.
It's not a game for RPG newbies, though. It doesn't have a "What is roleplaying" chapter nor any kind of "How to referee" chapter. If you haven't done this before, you're on your own.

Of course, the extreme amusement on the face of a member of the United States Marine Corps when I was helping a friend roll up a character and told him he'd been promoted to "Lance Sergeant" drew some snickers...(Ranks and Benefits table, page 20..pretty sure this is supposed to be "Lance Corporal")..but all in all people at the store seemed interested as I showed the game around and I may have sold a couple more copies for Mongoose

First impressions... wow, this looks really good! With all the hype, my expectations were set pretty high, and so far, I have to admit I'm impressed. Bravo!
And when I got home with my first grade son, I had him make an attempt at rolling up a character! We only got as far as his stats, and then Scooby Doo came on and he asked if we could continue later. He rolled a 4 for his SOC, and he asked, "can I re-roll that?" Funny.
