Sometimes a mediocre work at the right time is better than a masterpiece at the wrong one.

Apparently you have not been around, or paid much attention, to the fantasy that has been widely available since Tollkien really became popular in the late 60's into the next decade. I have had a multitude of such books yellowing and rotting away due to their age from those days (reason I am much more into ebooks now).
Don't assume what you do not know about does/did not exist ;-)
