Bookish sort (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nerd

'bookish sort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nerd that I've seen before include "Foolish or annoying person" , "Boringly studious person" , "One lacking social skills" , "Socially inept but knowledgeable person" , "Flag on poles; wide (headline)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate, the L.A. Times Daily and the LA Times.
