The tale of Earendil in BoLT was going to span over seven chapters. Compare this to the few pages we got in the published Silmarillion. I think this is more sad than for example that he didn't finished the rewriting of the Fall of Gondolin. In that case we at least have the old version in full. But the tale of Earendil was never written at all. C.T. did a good job when wrote the last chapter. Still I feel something is wrong. It is like reading the first two LoTR books in full and then a 10 page version of the Return of the King.
