Record one volume, for example (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epitome

'example' is the definition.
(epitome is a kind of example)

'record one volume' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'volume' becomes 'tome' (I've seen this before).
'ep'+'i'+'tome'='EPITOME'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for epitome that I've seen before include "Typical example, prototype" , "Something embodying perfectly a stated quality or idea" , "Essence or embodiment" , "Perfect example of a quality" , "Ideal example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
