what do they mean by “it would be misleading to release a Biography on Hilary Tolkien without proper reference to his close relationship with his brother”?

Oh, of course there had to be one typographical error. Most certainly I meant protest against Tolkien Estate, not protect.

This makes me want to protect against Tolkien Estate – at least do something to this incredible injustice towards the authors of the biography of Hilary Tolkien. I mean really, somebody must contact them and tell them “the right words”.

How lame is that? The Tolkien Estate really gets on my nerves.

I’m sorry, but a whole book on someone who is basically a footnote? The Tolkien Estate should have no power to influence this book unless it was a sad attempt to slip a book on JRR in from the side, even then an unauthorised biography should be legal to produce. But back to Hilary; apart from being dead, I’ve probably done just as much as this guy to be noteworthy, so where’s my book?
