Tolkien Estate's New Website (quick guide)

So, finding that the new Tolkien Estate website* is chock-full of good things, I thought a little cheat sheet might help folks see just how much is already up on the site. Accordingly, I've taken their sitemap** that comes at the bottom of their list of links and expanded it out by adding the author's names, where I knew them, next to the titles of individual pieces on specific works. Here's the result. Hope it's helpful.

--I've already found a lot that looks v. interesting, and wish I weren't in the middle of a deadline and so had time to give it the close look it deserves. But then I suspect I'll be coming back to this website a lot in the years to come.
