This includes Rayner Unwin's account of his relationship with Tolkien in his book George Allen & Unwin: A Remembrancer, and correspondence held in the Allen & Unwin archive at Reading University. Tolkien Companion and Guide, and Wayne Hammond's Tolkien bibliography includes a fairly detailed chronology of events up to the publication of The Return of the King in October 1955, but there is great deal more information that is not so widely available. Some of Tolkien's thoughts and actions are recorded in the selection of his letters that have been published in The Letters of J.R.R.
