Book store (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserve

This clue is a double definition.

'book' is the first definition.
(as in booking or reserving in advance)

'store' is the second definition.
(a reserve is a store or supply of something)

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "ice" , "Savings - book" , "Conservation area" , "Hold back" , "Husband - substitute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu, The Sun, The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
