Book Wholesalers, Inc., a book supplier to U.S. public libraries, has posted
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.
- Here it comes
- Boxes of books
- The lion's out of the bag
- SPOILER: Glimpse of entire jacket
- Ready to go!
UPDATE: Scholastic has officially released a much higher quality version of the art on the back side (without text). From their press release:

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.

Well nothing spoiled really. I am sure they had better photos but sent this one just to entice us. They want us even more excited just before the release - which most people are any way. We will all have access in 1 week so then it will be "spoiled" for everyone. :)
Can't wait!!

I am so glad that I am the only one that could not see anything from that picture. Looking at the past covers I have never been able to guess what is going to happen in the book. :(

Well, in case you are wondering, the picture is so small that it is difficult to see much of anything, so I didn't really think it was all that "spoiler warning" worthy. I can't wait for the book next week!!!!

Oh my god that looks so cool! I think the people in the background are Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. The 3rd person looks like they have red hair so I think it's Ginny. I can't wait to read this book! What I wouldn't give to get my mitts on one of those boxes. I swear! I won't give out any secrets or try to sell the books! I just want to bury my nose in there for hours and not come out! Only 7 more days until I'm at my local Potter party waiting for my book! WOO HOO!!!

Ginny seems to be looking up a the dark mark. I think it is the same thing as the bottom of the Waldenbooks standups.

The back cover is the same as the standee image from March. Here's a link to the standee image:
http://i.mugglenet.com//hbpstandee.jpg
A smaller version:
http://www.mugglenet.com/viewer/?image_location=/hbpstandeesmall.jpg
You can see the similarities here: http://www.emeri.org/h/
They both feature Ron, Hermione, and a red headed girl (probably Ginny) looking up at something... It seems like the dark mark is floating up in both. The only difference is that the standee image seems to show Ron, Hermione, and Ginny looking up at Harry and Dumbledore from the front cover, but my guess is that's just manipulation by the Bloomsbury & Scholastic artists.... The dark mark is just floating off on both of them, too.
