Peregrine, I think you are reading the Books in much the same order as most of us.
You are in for a treat when you get to volumes 10-12!
The contain large amounts of finished and not fin. Silmarliion material.
I would also suggest getting the Osanwe -Kenta essay from the journal Vinyar tengwar.
an internet search should turn it up.an amazing bit of a planned Silm appendix that never made it.
The Silmarillion forum also contains a wealth of discussion on just what a final 'integrated' HoME/Silm/UT could look like.
