Little white books (LWB) are new printings of Traveller rules, published in quick succession by FFE, starting in 2022.
The first edition ("black stripe"), measuring 5.5 x 8 inches, is a lithographic reproduction of the 1981 [LBB]s, with errata added. Its cover has a black underline stripe. Where possible, the erring text was directly replaced, with a footnote. Where this would cause layout problems or pagination changes, a bare footnote was added indexing to the errata item. The LWB has a complete errata appendix.
The second edition ("red stripe"), measuring 6 x 9 inches, is a fully errata-corrected 1981 text, reformatted and laid out with modern styling. Its cover has a red underline stripe. This means the pagination no longer follows the original [LBB]s; however, the increased size and modern layout brings the books into the 21st century.
