The West Virginia University Press is now shipping Tolkien Studies Volume XVI (16). These are now only available in paperback sadly, but the content in each year's issue is always quite good.
(Note that the WVU website says there is a 30% off coupon for all their books, but Tolkien Studies counts as a "journal" not a book so the coupon does not apply).
Price is $60 (individual, USA), $70 (individual, international) and higher for institutions.

Contents:
[Edit - updated to clarify the In Memoriam article is about Jared C. Lobdell and by Richard C. West. All contents come from Project MUSE]
