Nope, that was the original book!

The original Traveller boxed edition came in three books. Each book
was black with red lettering. (They later came out with a Book 0,
which was on how to roleplay.)

Book 4 was Mercenary. It was black with orange lettering.

Book 5 was High Guard. It was black with blue lettering.

To round them out, Book 6 was Scouts; black with yellow lettering.
Book 7 was Merchant Prince; black with purple lettering. Book 8 was
Robots. Can't remember the colour (red, I think).

The only versions I've seen, and I had the original, original
versions, didn't have a price _or_ an item number in the top right
corner.

Here's a site with pictures of what I remember the book looking like:

wasn't working; now looking to collect the again)
