		To be fair to Christopher Tolkien, his father wanted at all cost to see this material published, and the state in which the texts were in hardly lent to easy editing.
		Christopher Tolkien himself said that had he had access to all his father's manuscripts the 1977 Silmarillion would indeed be different.
		Part of the reason for this is that Christopher Tolkien heavily edited the Silmarillion to ready it for publication, in places incorrectly because he was unaware of the existence of much material which would come to light only after publication.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Silmarillion
		Quenta Silmarillion, the longest tale, which gives an account of the history of Arda from its beginnings until the end of the First Age.
		The Quenta Silmarillion itself seems to have been developed in Númenor during the Second Age, though parts of it (particularly the Narn i Hîn Húrin) were said to date back to the First Age.
		The Silmarillion was actually written and rewritten over a period of some sixty years by J.R.R. Tolkien, and edited and published posthumously by his son Christopher.

		A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, The Silmarillion precedes The Hobbit in the ancient drama that builds up to The Lord of the Rings.
		The Silmarillion is both Tolkien's first book and his last, and the core of his imaginative work that underlies all his writings about Middle-earth.
		The Silmarillion includes several other works besides the main story: Ainulindale, the myth of Creation; Valaquenta, on the nature and power of the gods; Allakabeth, recounting the downfall of Numenor; and "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," the link to The Lord of the Rings.

		The Silmarillion is J.R.R. Tolkien's tragic, operatic history of the First Age of Middle-Earth, essential background material for serious readers of the classic Lord of the Rings saga.
		The Silmarillion is astonishing in its philosophical and theological depth.
		It should be noted that the Silmarillion is a collection of stories by J.R.R. Tokien, masterfully edited by his son Christopher Tolkien, to approach some semblance of continuity between chapters.

		The Silmarillion is a shining glimpse into the vast expanse of history that Tolkien created as the backdrop to his main work.
		The Silmarillion is not a great read in the way that LOTR or The Hobbit is. It isn't one story told linear fashion from beginning to end.

	The New York Review of Books: The Hobbit Habit
		What is published now as The Silmarillion is what Tolkien referred to, in the foreword to the trilogy, as "the mythology and legends of the Elder Days." He described it there as "work done for my own satisfaction" in which he had little hope that other people would be interested.
		For The Silmarillion, despite the cuts that have evidently been made in the original materials, the selection and arrangement that have been imposed on them, remains an empty and pompous bore.
		The Silmarillion is a commercial and perhaps a social phenomenon of some interest, but not a literary event of any magnitude.

		As mentioned previously, the new edition of The Silmarillion, with a much larger number of illustrations, has been published this fall, debuting in the UK in early September, and now available in North America since mid-November.
		The Silmarillion, however, is a very different literary ‘animal’; easily disappointing to the average reader.
		Such was the daunting, extraordinary matter of his legendarium; Tolkien became aware relatively late in his career that the stories we now recognize as set in Middle-earth should rightly be harmonized into a Great Whole.

		The tales of "The Silmarillion" were the underlying inspiration and source of Tolkien's imaginative writing; he worked on the book throughout his life, but never brought it to a final form.
		Long preceding in its origins "The Lord of the Rings," it is the story of the First Age of Tolkien's world, the ancient drama to which characters in "The Lord of the Rings" look back, and in which some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part.
		The title Silmarillion is shortened from Quenta Silamarillion, 'The History of the Silmarils', the three great jewels created by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, in which he imprisoned the light of the Two Trees that illuminated Valinor, the land of the gods.

	A Tolkien Dictionary
		By the time of the writing of LOTR the earliest forms had mostly been changed or abandoned, yet the evidence is compelling that, at times, Tolkien liked the poesy of a name so much that he retained the older form even though the name is nearly impossible to source.
		Unhappily he was not to finish the work, but left it to his son Christopher to thresh through the mountains and years of material: tales, and cosmologies, and calendars, numerous rewrites and lexicon changes...
		When the Appendix to The Silmarillion is quoted as a source, the root is in small letters and boldened, followed by 'appx' in brackets [appx]; when The Etymologies is the source of the element being analysed, the letters are in capitals and boldened, followed by 'Etym' in brackets [Etym].An sample entry is Adanhel:

		If you read the silmarillion before reading the LOTR Books, it makes the LOTR trilogy appear a richer and more satisfying read.
		So I recommend that people read LOTR (and its appendices) first, and then only read The Silmarillion if they're truly interested in the history, because it takes a bit of devotion.
		All that said, The Silmarillion is my favorite Tolkien work.

		Tire Lord of tire Rings narrated the great events at the end of the Third Age; but the tales of The Silmarillion are legends deriving from a much deeper past, when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils.
