The essay does in fact mention the "Ithryn Luin", the Blue Wizards, but I'll not spoil your experience by saying any more! I am not familiar with the exact number and arrangement of the various editions of C. Tolkien's compilations, as I bought them all (?) piecemeal as I became aware of them. But the edition I'm holding in my hands as I write is a paperback published by Ballantine Books in 1989, having been originally published by Allen & Unwin in 1980. I shouldn't think you'd have much trouble finding a copy..
Thanks. I'm actually stuck in Earthsea at the moment. Re.Tolkien, there's also, Christopher Tolkien's compilation called "Unfinished Tales" (which is what I was actually referring to earlier). This is a fascinating and extensive collection of JRRT's notes and writings which reflect the evolutionary nature of some characters and ideas as he struggled to solidify the history of ME. Also, you'll be interested to know that there is a rather long and detailed essay on the Istari. Man, I gotta go back and re-read that!
