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:

That's cool, although, I didn't think there were too many spoils.
I'm soooo excited!
The book is going to be out really soon.
I can almost feel it in my hands

I can't believe that we can get the HBP in less than a week. The pictures (even though you can't see any detail) make it even more exciting!

That new picture is excellent!
Actually it is a little scary, the dark mark at Hogwarts! What are they playing at?
I have a little theory involving a certain prophecy, and a certain dark lord still wanting to hear it, and a certain Divination teacher (at Hogwarts) who still has it lodged somewhere in her mind...

Mary is so talented...it's amazing. I can only dream of creating art like that. Personally (no offense to anyone) I think the UK covers SUCK. From what I've seen, the artist usually portrays scenes of NO importance, and they're not even drawn very good.
How is this a spoiler?? It's just the dark mark. That's another thing I love about Mary's stuff. You don't understand the covers until you've read the book, and it turns out to be really important, and the PERFECT thing to go on a cover! MARY RULES.

If only the picture was big enough so that we could read the back of the jacket... *sighs* i know there's only 5 more days, but still, when it gets this close to it, who really wants to wait any longer? And I definitely agree with Snapette. Spoiler it was not.
Cheers!

The spoiler didn't give me much. The high res picture shows more detail of the people. I think the other two people are Ron and Ginny. I am settled on Ginny, but the other could be someone else.

This is so exciting! I like the back cover ... very nice. I really want to read the summary, but I guess I will have to wait until Saturday. It needs to come quick!

I wonder what the back cover says. I don't mind to know that. I don't qualify that as a sinful spoiler.
Is there any software out there that will make it possible for us to read the passage? Well, 4 days to go... Just wait, then...

yet another small taste of what's to come. Looks to be another job very well done by JKR and the entire HP team. Keep up the good work and keep those hints coming!
