Guess what I just found cleaning out my boxes of old books?
"The Defeat of John Hawkins" by Rayner Unwin. As I recall he was the boy who persuaded his father to publish Lord of the Rings, and later took over the publishing company himself to promote Tolkien. (I may have my facts wrong, but I know he was important in LotR' history)
I didn't know he had written any books, though. All those British guys can write rings around Americans.
