Crossword Genius

Reserve brochure editor took away (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subtracted

'took away' is the definition.
(to subtract is to take away)

'reserve brochure editor' is the wordplay.
'reserve' becomes 'sub' (I've seen this in other clues).
'brochure' becomes 'tract' (both can mean a pamphlet).
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'sub'+'tract'+'ed'='SUBTRACTED'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
