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.

Oh wow, that cover sounds interesting. My computer is such a stubborn thing, I doubt it'd let me look at the pictures. I seriously need to chuck this computer and buy a new one. It runs as slow as a snail. I think I'd rather keep the back cover and so on a surprise. One can't have too many spoilers. Especially me. It helps to build up my anticipation. I always get anxious before big shindigs like this, so I'll need to try and calm down. Oh, I can't wait until book 6 is in my hands. That'll more than make up for m awful vacation, where my mother got lost and we ended up driving around for 5 hours. She yelled at me and I was crying. It was awful. That's just my life. Harry Potter is very good at cheering me up, so it's all good.

It is so hard not to look at but I can't because I really don't want to spoil the book but it is just so hard to do it.

Interesting picture. I wish they could have let us see the entire book cover, with the writing. But I guess we could wait a little longer. Anyone know if sites like Amazon will give us a look inside the book before its release?

Hey guys, I don't know about the rest of oyu, but with the notable exception of SoMdHPFan it should not have surprised any of you. I realize here that it is exciting what with release a week away trying to anticipate JKR but I think with Voldemort active expect many more Dark Marks.

I didn't notice anything. The picture of the book cover has a glare which obscures the details.

Are we desparate or what? Watching trunks drive down the street and people package up! Well, anything is better than TV!

Couldn't see anything so I guess I'd have to wait till the book's release to see clearly. There's really a lot of hype on this jacket, isn't there?

Well ... you can't see that much, can you? As for me ... I think they could have had some BIGGER!!! pictures of the bookcover and so on ... -.-* typical ... if there's something we really want to see it's as small as a stamp ... brillaint. And - oh - forget about it ... but I can't wait until 16Th July ... it'll be so exciting to read what we waited for ... for over a year ... I talk stupid stuff ... don't mind me ... I'm a german ... they're stupid at birth ...
