The novels by Jefferson P. Swycaffer are based upon his Traveller campaign. They are all out of print so you'll only find them at used book stores or if someone is willing to sell them; I'm keeping my copies. He also wrote one or two articles about his campaign in Dragon magazine.
Eclipse's additions:

The T4 Novel: Gateway to the Stars, by Pierce Askegren

If you can find them, I suggest E.C. Tubb's Dumarest of Terra series. The ones I have were published by Daw Books. This long running series is about a man named Earl Dumarest. He is a Traveller trying to find his long lost home, the legendary Terra. The concepts of High, Middle, and Low passages come from here, as well as the fast drug.
The final book of the Dumarest saga (says E.C. Tubb) is

The Return (Dumarest saga #32)
published by Gryphon Books in 1997
ISBN: 0-936071-83-4
trade paperback $20 The first one is The Winds of Gath

I also recommend Steve White's The Disinherited. In this novel you will find Tailored Vacc Suits, Stutterwarp drive, powered Battle Dress, and other Traveller items.
FYI, Dumarest of Terra was pre-Traveller. The Disinherited was written after Traveller was published.

Traveller fiction by Martin Dougherty

This includes the TNE Novel DIASPORA PHOENIX

Friends In High Places by Leslie Bates
Also by Les, Homecoming. A fragemented story of the very early days of the ROM. I really like this one.

Ramen and Whipsnade are Dead.

A Traveller's Log

I also suggest the Space Vermin Fiction Page.  It has some Traveller fiction.
