Where the book I got was sent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tome

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

'where the book' is the definition.
I know that 'book' relates to this answer. I also know that both the answer and definition are singular nouns

'i got was sent' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'me' and 'me' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'to' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tome that I've seen before include "dictionary?" , "War and Peace, say" , "Hefty volume" , "Large heavy book" , "Big book" .)
