A book to be critically examined but not bought (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
review copy
'a book' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for review copy that I've seen is " Book sent to, eg, newspaper".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
