Print books about drama with copper (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linocut

'print' is the definition.
(I know that linocut is a type of print)

'books about drama with copper' is the wordplay.
'books' becomes 'lit' (abbreviation for literature).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'drama with' becomes 'no' (I've seen this in other clues).
'copper' becomes 'Cu' (chemical symbol).
'no'+'cu'='nocu'
'lit' placed around 'nocu' is 'LINOCUT'.

(Other definitions for linocut that I've seen before include "relief work" , "Groovy artwork" , "Artwork produced by relief carving" , "Design used for printing" , "Carved printing design" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
