Mithalwen,

There is supposed to be another book coming out in the fall that has at least some "remembrances", including that of CT. It is J.R.R. Tolkien: Interviews, Reminiscences, and other Essays by Douglas Anderson and Marjorie Burns, Houghton Mifflin Co., to be published October 21, 2007.

Some of the essays and such are "new"; others are interviews and contributions that were done some years ago but weren't widely available. They are said to be "lively and loving testimonials." The book features reminiscences from CT, Priscilla Tolkien, Michael Tolkien, the lexicographer of the OED, Robert Murray (in view of the interesting public letters, I'd like to see this one), Donald Swann, L. Sprague de Camp, Norman Power (?) and Raymond Unwin. They also include the unedited transcript of the BBC interview.

I have my fingers crossed that the October publication date is "real" as it has been pushed back twice before. I am looking forward to seeing this book. I know it's available for pre-order through amazon.com (the U.S. one...I'm not sure about the British).
