Recommended book for Yearbook questions

I refer to the Government scheme related questions as “Yearbook questions”, read my Topic wise trend analyse about General studies (Mains) 2011 paper. you will notice that the “Yearbook questions” have increased.
The standard reference book is India 2012 (Publication Division)
it is a book published by Ministry of information and broadcasting, giving details about various schemes and activities of the government.
It can be purchased online, with hefty discount from Flipcart.com, no credit card required, the pay cash on delivery only.
