India
India is observing Yearbooks being published by both colleges and schools in the recent past similar to the ones done by the US and European universities. A college yearbook is typically done by passing our batch and contains testimonials by friends and also activities, festivals, student bodies. Few of the colleges that publish Yearbooks are ISB, IIMA, IIMC, IIMI, XLRI, XIM and other universities. Typically an Yearbook is printed in A4 or A5 size. One company that is making it more organized in India is printbindaas.com. India has its share of yearbook publications, be it Penguin's informative "Penguin Year Book" (Editor Derek O' Brian) or Scholastic India's illustrated colour edition or rather competitive exam friendly yearbooks like "Pratiyogita Darpan yeabook","Competition Success Refresher yearbook", Manorama Yearbook & Mathrubhumi Yearbook . India has always drawn readers from various walks of life and it has a good market for yearbooks; not least because digital reading is not yet as widespread In India as in other countries due to the fact that the number of Indians who have access to computer/smart phones is still relatively low and even fewer use e-book readers like Amazon's Kindle, which costs around Rs.15000-25000. However, as the digitally literate audience grows in India, digital media are slowly replacing the print versions of yearbooks - as demonstrated at the recent Book-Fair 2012 in Kolkata, which saw a decline in the numbers of readers seeking yearbooks because of increasing access to news and current affairs via the Internet,news channels etc.
