Fetches book and phones home (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brings in

'fetches' is the definition.
('bring in' can be a synonym of 'fetch')

'book and phones home' is the wordplay.
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'phones' becomes 'rings' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'phone').
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'b'+'rings'+'in'='BRINGS IN'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
