Intolerant person with large books (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bigot

'intolerant person' is the definition.
(someone with bigoted views)

'with large books' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'large' becomes 'big' (synonyms).
'books' becomes 'OT' (abbreviation for Old Testament).
'big' put next to 'ot' is 'BIGOT'.

(Other definitions for bigot that I've seen before include "One is prejudiced and intolerant" , "Deeply prejudiced and intolerant person" , "sectarian" , "Intolerantly prejudiced person" , "Someone intolerant of opinions of others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
