This. I used to feel like the secret maker felt about Word of God. Then I got into Tolkien. You pretty much need Word of God. You can pick and choose what you want to use because there are different versions of things and so much was only published after his death. But it makes the stuff that is clearly canon so much richer.

I suspect that as a good Catholic and professor in literature, Tolkien would probably find fandom's idea of "canon" to be patently ridiculous.

Not to mention that the canon about the canon involves multiple works of oral history, three unreliable "historians" (including a known liar), and multiple unreliable translators including a blatant self-insert.
