Will the writer - asks Connery - store books here? (5)
I believe the answer is:
shelf
'books here?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shelf that I've seen before include "Horizontal surface for holding objects" , "Protruding rock ledge" , "grass down under" , "Whereon 2 down is not!" , "Projecting layer of rock" .)
