Books in lovely literary review (6)
I believe the answer is:
notice
'literary review' is the definition.
'books in lovely' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'OT' (abbreviation for Old Testament).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'lovely' becomes 'nice' (I've seen this before).
'ot' going into 'nice' is 'NOTICE'.
(Other definitions for notice that I've seen before include "This is usually given before quitting job" , "Observe - about to resign?" , "Bulletin" , "Advance warning of an event" , "Sign posted in a public place" .)
