I did know ;-) but it's good to have a publication date.

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder if it doesn't always quite fit with Christopher's version, which is why they haven't been published before?

No I hadn't see that, definitely exciting!

YES!
The Tolkien Society on Facebook talked about it yesterday and a half dozen Tolkien fan groups have jumped on the bandwaggon.
Sadly nothing on Amazon yet; however there is a holder, no photo, price at $30 (bullpip!) and no order date/delivery date. I am waiting as, after all, June is 7 months away!
But, obviously I am excited. I know the folks putting out the book and respect them dearly! And the bait, the ab-so-lute BAIT of unseen unpublished items from Tolkien!
Of course, one could say, as some have, that this is a ploy to keep Tolkien under copyright, but SO WHAT?!?!? it protects his legacy from the scammers out there!
