In time, Tolkein might've expanded on that to a point.

Since LotR was so successful in general story form, some other histories might've been adopted. They would be written individually, rather than as a history book. That way the story of Glaurung abd Turin, Morgoth's fight with Fingolfin, The Seige of Gondolin and Nargothrond, and the chaining of Melkor could be expanded upon to make more full length. Also, more detail on the Last Alliance and othe historic events.
