It supplements it. I has the original classes and feats from the THB plus a bunch more.

Also - I own and reviewed the Traveller's Handbook here earlier(http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10077.phtml) and it had some problems - a lot of editing problems and very weak d20 mechanics, among others. How much has this been updated?

It hasn't. The system is the same.

In fact, as I look into it, it looks like there was the original handbook I have, then a new PDF-only series (replacing that? reprinting that?) of Traveller's Handbooks broekn down into Characters and Combat, Equipment and Designs, and Worlds and Adventures, and now this.

The THB is available as a 3 part PDF. It was done that way because the PDF would have been huge as a single.

Is this "T20 3e", where what I reviewed was 1e and the C&C book this is noted to replace is 2e? The drivethroughRPG blurb says "If you already have The Traveller's Handbook - Characters and Combat, this book will add a ton more for you playing enjoyment. If you do not already have the Characters and Combat book, the Guidebook contains everything you need (ie: you don't need to purchase the C&C book)."

It's an addition to the original rules.
