But really, who has read all of CTs commentary? In any book.

I usually do read them. All of them. Or, at most, on e.g. second reading of the book, but I do (I used to do it like that when I was much younger, though, nowadays I do it usually on first reading).

I do. I need to go back to the earlier volumes but with the History of LOTR ones I found the commentaries fascinating and read them cover to cover. There are some wonderful gems of dry humour - my favourite perhaps being on the Bingoes. UT is possibly my favourite single volume.
