Moving one book up, only covers seen on volume (7)

I believe the answer is:

emotive

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moving' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one book up only covers seen on volume' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'book' could be 'ot' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ot' is found in the answer.
'volume' could be 'v' (abbreviation for volume in book titles) and 'v' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eme' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for emotive that I've seen before include "Stimulating to feelings" , "Stirring feelings" , "able to get going" , "exciting" , "Moving - controversial" .)
