'annual' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'yen for audio novel?' is the wordplay.
'yen for' becomes 'y' (I've seen this in other clues).
'audio' becomes 'ear' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'novel?' becomes 'book' (novel is a kind of book).
'y'+'ear'+'book'='YEARBOOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yearbook that I've seen before include "Annual publication" , "Reference book, published annually" , "Almanac published annually" , "annual product" , "Annual almanac" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
