Why Not Publication? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've been reading around this forum and I know you have stated that there is no desire to seek publication for your revised Silmarillion (also that Christopher Tolkien has no plans to issue a new Silmarillion after the 2001 ed.). But with all the work put into this - and I'm sure at least someone involved has met the big CT - why not, provided Chris is still alive when you finish, sue to see this version published?

I know it may just be a fan thing to make the edit, but if it yields a better edition....

I just wonder.
