I think that this quote can explain the comment in Tyler's book [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]:
Quote:
the Seven and the Nine were made with Sauron's aid, whereas the Three were made by Celebrimbor alone (...) [In Appendix A (III) to the Lord of the Rings it is said that there was a belief among the Dwarves of Durin's Folk that the Ring of Durin III, King of Khazad-dûm, was given to him by the Elevn-smiths themselves, and not by Sauron]

Sad to say, it seems that Tyler's comment is only a Dwarves' tale [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
