The original claim was that it was (as far as the vendor knew) the first time that 'Beorhtnoth' appeared in print. Whether the word appeared on the cover of a book before or since is not in itself very significant. For one thing, the title is abbreviated - from 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son'.
As I've said in a previous post, one of my favourites is this - http://www.tolkienbooks.net/php/details.php?reference=33420 - at only 300 copies, this one is actually rare.

"I think this is probably correct, Essays and Studies(1953) does not mention the articles on the cover." Hang on, I'll just get my copy... here we are; the contents are listed on the rear cover of the dustjacket, with 'The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son by JRR Tolkien' in first place.

And this is why I asked the question - such an interesting discussion, and a reminder of a cool limited edition!
[Pay no mind to the sordid history leading up to this.....]
