Book Wholesalers, Inc., a book supplier to U.S. public libraries, has postedopens in new window a small report on their recently received shipment of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince including a tiny picture of the backside jacket.

If you're trying to stay spoiler-free, you might want to pass on this one although it's difficult to see any detail.

UPDATE: Scholastic has officially released a much higher quality version of the art on the back side (without text). From their press releaseopens in new window:

The back cover depicts Ron and Hermione as well as two other Hogwarts students looking at "the Dark Mark." Drawn in the same green tones as the front cover, GrandPré has created another incredible piece of art that captures the essence and mystery of the Harry Potter books.

That's just nearly cruel! I mean, if we're prepared to blow it and see the spoiler, there should be something there to see! But I guess it's for the best.... Yeah, that's what I'll keep telling myself.

I don't really see how that is a spoiler at all. You can't read anything and the back cover doesn't give anything away - as far as I can tell. Only 7 more days!!!

Sooooooooooooooooon! It's really nothing that the promotional stand doesn't show. I'm very excited! I'm glad that the print is too small though. I wouldn't want it out there yet. We've only got a week to go people!

I wish that you could read the fine print on the book jacket. Maybe they can get a high-res pic of it.

You can't see anything on the back cover it's hardly a spoiler! But those people packing the books up how tantalising it must be for them!

What's the spoiler warning for? You can't see much in that. I mean, of course there is going to be some new character, and that can hardly be worth a spoiler warning.
Anyway, the American cover is looking better than the British one.

I wish the picture was enlarged so we could see the detail and read the back cover. Very frustrating.
