Christopher put this together nicely, but overall no new ground is covered for those who are very familiar with Tolkien Snr's posthumous publications put forth by him . Having said that, credit must be given to Christopher Tolkien for dedicating himself to the world his father created and millions around the world have come to love and enjoy because of his continued efforts to share Middle Earth with us. The story of Beren and Luthien is a love story like no other, and I'm rather glad to have it in my Tolkien collection anyway.
