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.
Website to order is https://wvupressonline.com/journals/tolkien_studies
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]

Each year, I'm hoping the price will decreased since it's paperback. I can't afford it since n°13 and 70$ is really too much.

For those with institutional access to ProjectMuse this journal as well all the previous ones is available for download. Tolkien Studies at ProjectMuse
I gave up buying TStudies years ago. I think I have up to IX (2012); always intended to buy X to round it out on the shelf, but never quite got around to it. Didn't realise it wasn't publishing in Hb anymore. And the price is still $70?! No thanks.
Updated the original post to clarify the In Memoriam article source and contents, because David Bratman was evidently asked about it.

Do they not use Print on Demand for Tolkien Studies? If not why not?
