Different sources - different quotes.
The source I mentioned says 6 books. Although, his letters would lend more credibility.
Even if I am wrong, and it is one book, it is still not a trilogy as it was told in previous posts.

My point is Tolkien never saw it as a trilogy. If you are right, then it is not trilogy
