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

Does anyone know if they sell HBP straight after midnight in Norway, like they did in England the last time? (Why can't I go to London this time also?? Unfair!!)
Hope nobody of you guys lost someone in the terrorist attack in London yesterday...
Best wishes

That is just pure evilness! Just a couple of days ago I made a comment running along the lines of wanting to read the blurb. AND THERE IT WAS! All in its unreadable glory!

OK EVERYONE, Trust me when I say that looking at the picture doesn't spoil anything, you know why???....
Because you cant see a DAM THING. The picture is tiny, you cant make out any of the writing and you cant even see what the pic is menna be!!!

WOW! I can't really tell whats on the front. But it looks cool, I still have to order from amazon and my mom just lost her credit card. It dosn't look like I will finish the book on the day it comes out.

Maybe they showed us the picture that way because they could get in trouble and they still wanted the publicity.

You can't really see anything on the back side of the cover that isn't already on the stand up at various retailers already. You can only see a few unidentifiable faces.

Unfortunately the "spoiler" is just that. I took my "peek" at the picture and you could hardly make anything out.

I wish it was a closer picture so you could actually read it, but the pictures do look very cool.

If this cover is anything like the others in the US Series, you won't find out the meaning of the cover until after you have read at least half of the book.
I looked, yes, but don't think anything was spoiled. The cover is covered in a plastic sheet and the light reflects off of it too much to make a clear picture.

I am so excited but at the same time feel guilty with all that is happening in London. I will be at the release party but think a moment of silence during the events is definately in order.
