Book of Baudelaire's is at this point abridged (6)
I believe the answer is:
esther
'book' is the definition.
(book of the Hebrew Bible)
'baudelaire's is at this point abridged' is the wordplay.
'baudelaire's is' becomes 'est' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at this point' becomes 'here' (here means in this place).
'abridged' means to remove the last letter.
'here' with its last letter taken away is 'her'.
'est'+'her'='ESTHER'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esther that I've seen before include "There's a biblical girl" , "Oratorio by Handel; girl's name" , "There's the biblical woman" , "OT heroine" , "Now there's a lady" .)
