Looking for "On the Construction of 'The Silmarillion'" by Charles Noad.
Does anyone know where I could obtain this? other than spending $100 for Tolkien's Legendarium?

Looking for "On the Construction of 'The Silmarillion'
“I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late.”

I am not aware of it being available any place other than in Tolkien's Legendarium, I'm afraid. That is a great collection of essays, but it is very expensive. Perhaps you could borrow a copy from a library near you?

Great idea, I shall check into it. Thanks.
