Volume of trade passes through here! (8)
I believe the answer is:
bookshop
'passes through here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'volume of trade' is the wordplay.
'volume' becomes 'book' (synonyms).
'of trade' becomes 'shop' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'book'+'shop'='BOOKSHOP'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bookshop that I've seen before include "Reading matter sold here" , "works store" .)
