Misprint in a line at end of American volume (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

literal

'misprint' is the definition.
('literal' can be a synonym of 'misprint')

'a line at end of american volume' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'l'.
'at end of' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'american volume' becomes 'liter' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'l'='al'
'al' after 'liter' is 'LITERAL'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for literal that I've seen before include "Using words in their most basic sense, exact" , "Unimaginative" , "typographical error" , "Not figurative" , "Exact (translation)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
