A scholarly work, in my opinion (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tome

This clue is a double definition.

'a scholarly work' is the first definition.

'in my opinion' is the second definition.
(to me)

(Other definitions for tome that I've seen before include "Big book" , "Large and scholarly book" , "dictionary?" , "Large heavy book" , "Large scholarly volume" .)
