I personally consider COH and The Sil to be canonical (and very good) books. I think TH is the only one that is only semi-canonical. But then again, I look at books from a less academic perspective, and the ones who could give you some good academic insight on how canonical these books are, are the people doing the Translation from the Elvish project.
