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.

I couldn't see anything. It is too small. Not for a lack of trying though. 1 week to go. I can't wait.

Can you believe we're down to a week till we finally get to read it. I can't wait, the excitement is driving me crazy and seeing things like this just make the wait all the harder. I wonder how hard it is to have that book in your hand and not be able to read it yet. That would be worse than waiting.

Chill people, Chill. Just 8 more days to go.

I hate spoilers, but couldn't hold on to my curiosity, and still tried to figure it out. No use. Can't see anything. Now I am getting restless....

(Where's the guy crying "Chill" ? )

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!! AHHHH

now that I got that out of my system, I looked and couldn't see much. I had guessed that the picture on the big poster would be on the book and so it is.

That is certainly interesting, though you can't read any of the text. I will say, however, that the color scheme on this book is noticably darker then ever other book. It is almost like a darkness pervades everything. Creepy, I must say.

But in all seriousness, it is only one week away in which we will be clutching the book in our hands.

Oh come on, people. I really don't think that anything on the cover can be a spoiler.... So if guys can see something... post it here. If it's on the cover.. it's not a spoiler.

Think of people like me, who, even though might be able to get their hands on the book on 16th, won't get more than an hour a day to read it (Hectic job :-(
Is that fair ?

I think I should get the book 1 week in advance. I want it today !~~~

Yeah.. I don't think there is much of a spoiler on the book jacket. I mean there could be and we might all be surprised, but judging by that picture there is nothing anyone can see clear enough to be a spoiler.

The spoilers are cool! Most time I don't want to see a spoiler, because it could spoil the fun. But it is difficult to wait so long so than sometimes I will look at a spoiler.
