Yearbook bound by local man, a craftsman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almanac

'yearbook' is the definition.
(I know that almanac is a type of yearbook)

'bound by local man a craftsman' is the wordplay.
'bound by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is bound within the clue).
'ALMANAC' can be found hidden inside 'local man a craftsman'.

(Other definitions for almanac that I've seen before include "Annual list of dates" , "Year book with astronomical events, tides etc" , "Sailor's or farmer's calendar" , "Annual publication providing information like Old Moore's" , "Indicates dates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
