Bookish sort of boy? (4)
I believe the answer is:
page
This clue might be a double definition.
'bookish sort' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'boy?' is the second definition.
(a young male servant)
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for page that I've seen before include "a significant bit of history?" , "Young attendant for part of a book" , "Attendant - this is on one!" , "Leaf; call over PA system" , "Boy at wedding" .)
