Re: may I suggest 3 stages

I live in the bay area of ca. where the used books stores have a fair selection of HoME hardback's [except 3 -which I am looking for]
and I have seen copies of 10-12 poking around -as often as not under literature-not sf/fant.
so a call to all the used book stores you may have may save you 10 or more $,a piece-# 10 deals specifically w/ the last major treatment of the Silm. in valinor { #11 was written durng the same periods chronologically but focuses on beleriand wars[hence the name]- so not as pertinent to "The Ainulindale" except for a long piece "Quendi and Eldar" and 12 is the LotR app. drafts and miscellany} .
The owner of 'another change of hobbit' -in berkeley says that 6-12 are all still available as hardback so any local seller should be able to get them if not in stock. {5 also ?}.
And I have only just looked at 6-9 so I am assumig there are no grand 1st age and earlier revelations there [although I have yet to see any one sight them for such contents].
hope that helps.
