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.

Oooh I'm getting so excited! The castle is in the backgroung. The death eaters do the dark mark after a killing, I hope there hasn't been a killing. How can that happen at Hogwarts if Dumbledore is there I wonder

We don't necessarily know for sure that it's Hogwarts, people! I think it looks like Ron and Hermione, then probably Ginny next to Hermione. But who's the charater on the far left??

Oh, the suspense is KILLING me!! :)

OH WOW!!!
I am soooo excited! (Which is sad, as this is just a really unfocused picture of the back cover with the words removed...)

Well, yeh, this proves that I am most definately a Harry Potter geek... in case that was in question... I am going to be sooooooo excited once I get the actual book in my hands! I'm not going to sleep till I read it all!

Didn't we get the official blurb for OotP, like, months before it was released? Why can't we get HBP's blurb even a week before? Those who don't want it to be spoiled won't have to read it, but BY GOLLY, Jo, some of us live for spoilers! I CAN'T SUFFER THROUGH ANOTHER 7 DAYS WITHOUT ANY SOLID INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I've been holding back at looking at the pics because I was worried about spoilers! I couldn't see anything new, so that's good!

I let out a loud squeak when I saw those books just laying there on the table! And those stacks of books! It was so beautiful. Ok, I need to settle down.:D

Nearly 6 days left. Less than a week!

Have you guys seen the larger version? They took off the sides so that noone could enhance the writing, but still. Looks great! I'm very excited. How much more? 7!
