A significant volume where mine's sent? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tome

'a significant volume' is the definition.
(long book)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for tome that I've seen before include "Hefty volume" , "Large scholarly volume" , "Big book" , "Heavy volume" , "dictionary?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
