Carl Hostetter, editor of Vinyar Tengwar, has moved all of the back issues to the Print-on-Demand services at Amazon, meaning that they are easily orderable from all the major Amazon websites around the world. Future issues will be made available on Amazon POD as well.
There is a lot of primary Tolkien material in these issues that is only available through VT.
Vinyar Tengwar (ISSN 1054-7606) is a not-for-profit refereed journal of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship, devoted to the scholarly study of the invented languages of J.R.R. Tolkien. VT is indexed by the Modern Language Association.

This is great news and I will be ordering the issues once i get the next month or so spending done. A busy period coming up but these will be heading to the top of my buying list.
Many thanks.

I have posted this news over on
Reddit. These volumes have been commented about many times over there so I hope it will drive some traffic to them. Linked this thread in with thanks.

Aelfwine, a user over on Reddit asks if we may possibly see Parma Eldalamberon in the future through Amazon POD? I second the question.

That's for its editor, Christopher Gilson, to say, not me.

Well, I'm definite all in on my next paycheck. In the meantime, does anyone have physical copies of these yet? I'd love to see what they look like "in person".

Sorry for the crap picture. I hadn't really been paying close attention, but haven't these been available as POD for a while, just on the website? That's great that they will now be able to reach more people though!
