i don't suppose that you can blame C. Tolkien for being tight on the reigns of the estate, because if he wasn't then there would be a flood of merchandise, i.e. calenders, picture books, and such that wouldn't benefit the legacy at all.

i am thankful that i can get more information from the Silmaarillion and Unfinished Tales, because the LotR has so many references to things that you might not have been able to find out more about, if those hadn't been published.

and i am sure Christopher is bitter because the film rights were sold. (for dirt cheap) and he doesn't stand to make money off them. but he has made an assload of cash off all the book sales.
I myself bought a new copy of all three bound as one to replace my 20 yr old copies, - so heres twenty bucks for you Christopher.
