Book to keep? (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)

'keep?' is the second definition.
(I know that keep is a more specific form of the action reserve)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "ice" , "Kept back stock" , "Wine kept" , "man on bench?" , "Lack of openness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
