This is very interesting. Why were vols. 5, 10, and 11 of HoMe considered "more canonical" than the others? (omitting 12 and 1 and 2 which have already been discussed as special cases)

Why was Road Goes Ever On placed so relatively low? I know there are some ideas in the notes where Tlkien seems to stick his neck out further on some issues like the Vala. Is this why?

Welcome Bethberry. Glad to meet you.
