The one thing I forgot to point out was that in the 1st 2 editions, JEAT, goes along with JRRT's feigned 'M-E as history' .
I liked the effect, as if I was reading a tome from within M-E not the RW.
That was forsworn in the 3rd ed. Too bad.
I think I will try and find a 2nd ed. a do an all new revision.
When Aiwendil and I tried our hand at an encyclo, I neglected to use an older outdated reference work as a starting point. Big Mistake! This will help put some healthy boundaries on the thing.
