The Woman in White , wanting book for trip (4)
I believe the answer is:
ride
'trip' is the definition.
(eg a trip in a car)
'the woman in white wanting book' is the wordplay.
'the woman in white' becomes 'bride' (brides traditionally wear white).
'wanting' indicates named letters should be taken away (to want something can mean to lack it or need it).
'book' becomes 'b' (abbreviation for book).
'bride' with 'b' taken away is 'RIDE'.
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Jaunt" , "spin > lift > pedal" , "Travel in or be carried on" , "Eg, roundabout or roller-coaster, path for horses" , "Fairground attraction; go on horseback" .)
