Stocking article and book (5)
I believe the answer is:
hosea
'book' is the definition.
(book of the Hebrew Bible)
'stocking article' is the wordplay.
'stocking' becomes 'hose' (hose is a kind of stocking).
'article' becomes 'a' (the indefinite article in English).
'hose'+'a'='HOSEA'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hosea that I've seen before include "Good book" , "Book of the Old Testament - a shoe (anag)" , "Book of prophecies" , "OT prophet/book" , "OT prophet" .)
