I believe the answer is:

brewpub

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tavern' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'western peru represented in books' is the wordplay.
'western' becomes 'w'.
'represented' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'books' becomes 'BB' (two abbreviations for book).
'w'+'peru'='wperu'
'wperu' is an anagram of 'rewpu'.
'rewpu' going inside 'bb' is 'BREWPUB'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brewpub that I've seen before include "Real ale maker and retailer" , "Self-sufficient local" , "specialist hostelry" , "Licensed premises where ale is made and sold" .)
