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 can't make out anything there. Someone might be able to but I can't.

Plus that's the American version so the Canadian one will be different.

I don't mind spoilers, and quite enjoyed this one, although it makes it harder to wait. I wonder if all these releases are to try and help boost sales, not like they need that!

Oh gosh, I hate spoilers, but taking a peak at the full illustration was too demanding at my curiosity. Well, at least I got a little glimpse at it... the most I could make out was people looking at something from behind a gravestone(?). Definitely not much of a spoiler thankfully!

Cool! Too bad you can't see the jacket very well- I wouldn't mind seeing it! It's not like you can tell the whole story from the cover anyway- but it sure would be fun to speculate! In fact, I bet there's a thread about it somewhere on here- I'll go look for it!

My mom and me are so looking forward to the book, I made a paper chain sort of thing (where everyday you pull off one link and it counts down to a date) Everytime my mom and me have to pull off a chain we get so excited and start up this big conversation on what surprises we think might pop up in the HBP book!!!! I Can't Wait!!!!!!!

I can't wait! It is hard to beleive that after two long years, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is finally coming out! This is going to be a really great book. I just know it! (Not that all the Harry Potter books aren't great! *Laughs*)
