Excellent. I knew a bit about the Rust Monster's bizarre origins, but there's plenty more here.
I haven't finished reading Playing at the World - which hints at different scale miniatures and toys for giants and dwarves. There's a wonderful fun spirit of improvisation in the early days of gaming - which is always worth remembering when we get bogged down by different rules, classifications and ways to represent specific creatures or characters in games.
