I think it's a book (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tome

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

'a book' is the definition.
(a tome is a book)

'i think it's' is the wordplay.
'i think' becomes 'tom' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'tom'+'e'='TOME'

Can you help me to learn more?

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