: Approved would include Tolkien's writings published during his : lifetime. Since he had nearly finished pre-publicatiion editing : of the Quenta Simarillion at the time of his death, it could : probably also be considered approved. In my opinion, all : subsequent published material would not be approved since : Tolkien did not authorize its publication.Actually, THE SILMARILLION was nowhere near finished format at Tolkien's death. The (Middle-earth) books published in Tolkien's lifetime would be: THE HOBBIT, 1st - 3rd editions THE LORD OF THE RINGS, 1st - 2nd editions THE ROAD GOES EVER ON THE ADVENTURES OF TOM BOMBADIL
