Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
Skip should be forewarned that most of those books would be more accurately titled THE HISTORY OF THE WRITING OF MIDDLE EARTH. If somebody picks up all those books thinking they are going to get two feet worth of detailed information about actual Middle-earth events that were not in the standard HOBBIT and LOTR, they usually are greatly disappointed. These are great books if you want to know all the ins and outs of how they were written. As true history books, they are badly mistitled. Of course, I have always suspected that a series of books called THE HISTORY OF THE WRITING OF MIDDLE EARTH would have sold even fewer copies that did the HOME.
