Iarwain, is your version the Complete, the New TC, or just plain Tolkien Companion?
All three are very different.
The latter has only Pre-Silmarillion info, the middle includes the Silm [and was pub. circa 1980] and the newest, 'The Complete Tolkien Companion' is very recent and draws on all UT and HoM-E. 2002 I think, and currently england only
