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

'book' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'doctor donates fee' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'donates'+'fee'='donatesfee'
'donatesfee' with letters rearranged gives 'EAST OF EDEN'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for east of eden that I've seen before include "Steinbeck novel" , "Book and film" , "one by Steinbeck" , "Book by Steinbeck" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
