Welcome to the Members Only Area!

Welcome to APT's Members page, which gives you all the information you will need to take advantage of the variety of benefits that APT has to offer.

 
APT Bulletin Back Issues Available
Are there gaps in your collection of APT Bulletin? Although the full run is available on JSTOR as a member benefit, we suspect that many of you enjoy the experience of browsing through hard copies or just having them available.

If you find issues you're missing in this inventory, please contact [email protected] and let us know which ones you'd like. To cover postage and staff time, issues are priced at USD $10 each for shipping within the U.S.; rates vary for larger quantities and/or international shipping. We will provide payment instructions with your order confirmation and net proceeds will benefit APT.

P.S. Sales are intended for issues of the APT Bulletin that were received and subsequently given away or misplaced. If there's a recent issue that you did not receive (e.g., due to a mailing error) and it is still available, we will get it to you at no cost. The most recent issue you should have received is Vol. 55, No. 3.
