Clue: Got down old Scandi books by new editor (8)
Answer: SADDENED
Explanation: Definition: Got down

[*down*] **<=EDDAS** ("old Scandi books") *by* **N** (new) + **Ed.** (editor)
 
*I have a problem with this clue as it appears to me that "down" is doing double duty in this clue, as it is required both for the definition and as a reversal indicator for "eddas")
