Chapter removed from impressive book, for example ... (7)
I believe the answer is:
epitome
'example' is the definition.
(epitome is a kind of example)
'chapter removed from impressive book' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c' (abbreviation).
'removed from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'impressive' becomes 'epic' (epic can mean grand or impressive).
'book' becomes 'tome' (a tome is a book).
'epic' with 'c' taken away is 'epi'.
'epi'+'tome'='EPITOME'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Typical example, prototype" , "Perfect example of a quality" , "Summary of a written work" , "Essence or embodiment" , "Summary; embodiment" .)
