'boob?' is the definition.
('breast' can be a synonym of 'boob')

'book getting support after admitting a' is the wordplay.
'book getting' becomes 'b' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'support' becomes 'rest' (e.g. a shoulder rest is a support for shoulder).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'admitting' is an insertion indicator (admit can mean to welcome in or accept).
'b'+'rest'='brest'
'brest' enclosing 'a' is 'BREAST'.
