Want short edition distributed all over the country (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nationwide

'all over the country' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'want short edition distributed' is the wordplay.
'short' means to remove the last letter.
'distributed' is an anagram indicator.
'want' with its final letter removed is 'wan'.
'wan'+'edition'='wanedition'
'wanedition' anagrammed gives 'NATIONWIDE'.

(Other definitions for nationwide that I've seen before include "for all of us" , "Across the whole country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
