Please see the following from World Athletics.

Currently, plans to print the Rules Book have been dropped. We are in for a number of innovations and amendments in the future and therefore the Competition and Technical rules tend to change all too often now and most probably also in the years to come, so a static, printed version could even be misleading. We encourage everybody to go the Book of Rules section on the website to find the always-current text. We shall also try to arrange a print-ready pdf version (in the current printed format) in the Technical Information section for download so that those who wish to do a local printing could do so.
