Christopher Tolkien finished The Fall of Gondolin and it hit the shelves. Christopher is 93, and as many times as he's been through his father's notes in the last 4 decades, I can't imagine there's much in the way of further lost stories remaining.
JRR wrote this while in the hospital recovering from "trench fever" following the Battle of the Somme in WW I. Apparently he wrote multiple drafts, and Christopher compiled them in to this print edition.
