Rider is one for the books (8)
I believe the answer is:
addendum
'rider' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for addendum that I've seen before include "Something attached to the end, say of book" , "Addition at end of book" , "Supplementary text tacked on to the end" , "Extra item added at end of book" , "PS" .)
