Rayner Unwin first published a shorter version of this
in The Bookseller. I  wrote to him and asked if he would 
allow me to publish this in a small edition. He
immediately consented and not only that, he sent me a 
longer updated version. The booklet 
came out just on time for the occasion of 
J.R.R. Tolkien's first centenary celebrations in 1992
and all copies were practically sold during the Oxford 
Tolkien conference and Oxonmoot.

Rayner Stephens Unwin CBE (1925 – 23 2000),
