He published all of those in some form too. :-P

Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 01:47, May 4, 2017 (UTC) Ğ I think there's a difference here. His letters etc were actually written by Tolkien, but Christopher came up with the book names? That would make them not specifically 'canon' if such a thing can be said of a name of a book, but rather just the names of those books in editions that have them.
