The Commonwealth Yearbook is the essential annual guide to the Commonwealth, its members and organisations.

The 2004 edition has a substantial amount of new material including further changes to the format in response to feedback from users. There has also been a comprehensive update on the profiles of all Commonwealth member countries, as well as the 24 associated states and overseas territories, and many Commonwealth organisations.

Reflecting the diversity of Commonwealth countries and people, the 2004 Yearbook has added statistical tables on small states and information on literary prize winners and membership of international and regional organisations.

Other updates in the 2004 edition include: the evolution, role and operations of the association; full texts of key declarations; a review of principal programmes and initiatives; in-depth profiles of the member states and dependencies; a directory of some 100 Commonwealth organisations, with full profiles of the leading intergovernmental bodies; and an extensive reference section, with statistics.
