Book-keep (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reserve

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'book' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'keep' is the second definition.
(reserving is a kind of keeping)

(Other definitions for reserve that I've seen before include "Bank" , "put to one side" , "not in the front line" , "Twelfth man < 's coolness" , "Book - substitute player" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
