Are you using the AP Stylebook for your classes?


Let us help you with your choice of the new spiral-bound AP Stylebook, 57th Edition and AP Stylebook Online. You can request either or both via our desk copy request form.


The AP Stylebook Online is a searchable, mobile-friendly version of the AP Stylebook with online-only bonus features, including Ask the Editor where you can ask your own questions and search thousands in the archives and Topical Guides with helpful tips on news events ranging from the elections to the Olympics. As AP updates its style throughout the year, users can get email updates and easily review the new entries and recent changes section online.

We now sell AP Stylebook Online via the digital textbook platforms RedShelf and VitalSource. That offers you and your students AP style guidance that's updated throughout the year, with no need to carry a big book back and forth to campus.

If your campus uses RedShelf, our two product pages are:

If you use VitalSource, look for these product pages:


Of course you can still subscribe to Stylebook Online directly from us, as well.



What’s new in the spiral-bound AP Stylebook


If you don't have the latest Stylebook, get your update for:

  • New chapters on artificial intelligence and criminal justice
  • Expanded guidance on climate change and social media reporting
  • Self-editing checklist and restructured tech guidance


We now publish a new AP Stylebook every other year, instead of annually. If you already have the black and white 57th Edition shown above, that continues to be our most current print AP Stylebook.


Still using an older edition? Fill out our desk copy request form to get the latest guidance.

Prefer digital? Try AP Stylebook Online

If you've been wondering if you should move from the print book to online, this is a great year to try. We don't publish a new print book until 2026 but Stylebook Online includes new additions and changes immediately.

Stylebook Online is:

  • Searchable, portable and mobile friendly
  • Easily customizable to include your own entries or notes on Stylebook entries, and your custom content is searchable, too
  • More comprehensive than the print book, with the online-only Ask the Editor and Topical Guides on events in the news
