This brings it all back! I wonder how many people have plotted a B-Z in the last decade?
I have no idea if there is still a source of printed paper, but an alternative might be to print your own. I think this should be feasible using something like Excel which allows you to specify a logarithmic scale for a chart and to print gridlines. If you create a random chart and obscure the data plot (e.g. same colour as the background) I guess you’d end up with semi-log paper in unlimited quantities.
If you do try this I’d be interested to know if it works!

Subject: semi-log paper supplier
for Bradford-Zipf?
do you have students doing Bradford-Zipf analyses in your dep't? If so, I wonder if you can identify a source of semi-log paper to do it on? I've got a student doing a B-Z and we cannot find a supplier for love nor money!
