Morphology
annual = annual (transparent) = annu + al
This is a standard conversion from the adjective 'annual', so the publication meaning follows directly from the yearly sense.
Etymology
Annual comes from the old Latin word annus, which means 'year' and is the same root as anniversary. So an annual book is one that appears once every 'year', like a comic annual at Christmas.
