Do you have instructors who plan to use the Associated Press Stylebook for their classes?
Let us help you place your order for the new spiral-bound AP Stylebook, 57th Edition.
We now publish a new AP Stylebook every other year, instead of annually. If you still have the burgundy 56th Edition in stock, this updated version replaces that Stylebook we released in 2022.
You can only find the spiral-bound AP Stylebook on our website, and we have the exclusive rights to serve college bookstores. We have experience meeting your needs and we're happy to serve you.
You will find a detailed FAQ below. A few highlights:
- We offer a 20% wholesale discount to qualifying college bookstores. You just need to create an account with your reseller tax ID number to claim your wholesale price. Retail is $34.95, you pay $27.95. ISBN is 978-0-917360-71-8.
- If you need to set up an account, look for "Don't have an account yet?" on the right side of our homepage.

Creating your account
If you need to set up an account, look for "Don't have an account yet?" on the right side of our homepage. You will need an approved account to qualify for the wholesale rate.
Creating a college bookstore account on apstylebook.com is easy: Simply enter a contact name, bookstore name and email address, then choose a password. On the final page of registration, enter your reseller tax ID number. If you don't have your reseller ID number handy, you can create your account and edit it later.
Once your account is verified, you will get the bookstore rate every time you log in and place an order.
Placing your order
You can place your order online at apstylebook.com. You'll find the spiral-bound print Stylebook at the top of our online store.
Our ordering system is designed to be self service, including an invoice feature to serve those customers who need to pay by check. Choose “check” as your payment type and we will email you an invoice PDF, complete with shipping charges.
We ship your books once we receive payment, so paying by credit card or e-check will get you your books more quickly.
Mailing a check
We will ship your books as soon as we receive your check at:
Stylebooks.com
8605 Santa Monica Blvd
PMB 78951
West Hollywood, California 90069-4109
If you have done business with AP Stylebook in the past, please double check the mailing address on file to make sure you aren't sending to an outdated lockbox or office address.
Please include a copy of the invoice or the invoice number in the check’s memo line to speed your order processing.
Purchase orders
We do not accept purchase orders. We must receive payment before we will ship books.
You can enter your purchase order number in our order form for your reference, if you like.
Requesting a W-9 or vendor form
If you need a W-9 form, we offer that as a convenient download on our website.
If you have other vendor forms that must be completed, please contact customer support via our online form for assistance.
Returns
We encourage you to only order the exact quantity you need, as we do not accept returns due to overstock.
We know this is different from the major publishers you work with. We only sell the AP Stylebook so we don't have a huge distribution system set up to accept overstock returns. We hope the low price of the book offsets any inconvenience. You now have two years to sell the books you order, unlike when we did annual updates.
Status of your order
When you complete your order online, we ask for your email address. We will email you your tracking number so you know when to expect your books.
We encourage you to enter an email address you check regularly, so we can keep you updated on your order status.
You can also log in to your customer dashboard and view your order history to see the tracking information on any of your orders.
Need a copy of your invoice?
We will email you a receipt when we process your order, and our packing slip includes pricing details, as well.
If you need another copy of your receipt later, visit your account dashboard, where you can view orders, add a credit card on file, enter a collect shipping account and more.
Desk copies
To request a desk copy for faculty members using the AP Stylebook in their classes, please fill out our desk copy request form or ask the instructor or department assistant to fill out the request, which asks for name of the professor, class name(s) and an email address for each instructor.
Your college code
We no longer ask you for a Stylebook college code — instead, you will need to enter your reseller tax ID in your new customer profile. This is how we verify that you qualify for the wholesale rate.
Customer support
We have updated and upgraded our customer support.
Check out our expanded FAQs, and if you don't find the answer you need, contact our Help Center by submitting a ticket, by calling 833-249-5020 or emailing [email protected].
You can now use chat to ask your questions, in addition to calling or submitting a ticket online. Don't have time to wait on hold? You can now leave a callback request and an agent will call you back.
Agents are available to help you live Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT.
We hope you will find it easy to get your Stylebooks, but if you have questions or concerns, our support team is here to help.
