Has anyone read it?
It was edited by Christopher Tolkien, and I know how some of you feel about him, so please kindly tone down the scorn and give your overall opinion of the book if you will, please.

"The Book of Lost Tales" volumes are part of a series called "The History of Middle Earth" in which Christopher Tolkien compiles all the notes and drafts J.R.R. Tolkien left behind regarding the world he created. The "Lost Tales" books specifically are very early versions of what would eventually become "The Silmarillion". I'd recommend it only to hardcore Tolkien fans.
