Not much of a press perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sparse

'not much' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a press perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'press'='apress'
'apress' anagrammed gives 'SPARSE'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for sparse that I've seen before include "Thinly distributed" , "Not much" , "Thinly dispersed" , "Thinly-spread" , "Thinly dotted about" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
