Put out by colourful type, for the most part, sending up article and good books (9)
I believe the answer is:
indignant
'put out by colourful type for the most part sending up' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'article and good books' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'a' (indefinite article).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'good' becomes 'indign' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'books' becomes 'nt' (New Testament).
'a' put after 'indign' is 'indigna'.
'indigna'+'nt'='INDIGNANT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indignant that I've seen before include "feeling anger" , "Angered by unjust treatment" , "Annoyed at unfair treatment" , "Affronted by perceived injustice" , "somewhat angry" .)
