Thick edition that's bound (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fated

'bound' is the definition.
('fated' can be a synonym of 'bound')

'thick edition' is the wordplay.
'thick' becomes 'fat' ('fat' can be similar in meaning to 'thick').
'edition' becomes 'ed'.
'fat'+'ed'='FATED'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for fated that I've seen before include "Destined, foreordained (5)" , "Destined - inevitable" , "Suffering a lot" , "Predestined" , "Doomed or destined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
