The Internet Tolkien scholarly journal Other Minds has announced its latest issue is available for download as a .PDF file.
The server seems to be running slow and you have to wait a few minutes before it comes up but I think it's well worth the wait.
Although Other Minds is primarily focused on Middle-earth role-playing gaming issues, the contributors extend the area of Tolkien scholarship into languages (particularly thanks to contributions from David Salo and Chris Seeman). Some articles also look at interpretations of Tolkien's sources and cultures.
You can browse the magazine online or save it to your hard drive (I recommend saving a copy). You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file.
