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:

Well whop-dee-doo. I was worried I'd majorly spoil the ook just now, but I decided to look anyway. You can't see anything. oh well, 8 days and it'll be in full detail.

*sigh* It's so tiny you can't see a thing, so I tried to save it and then zoom in....too blurry! Oh if only I could tell what's on the back!

Ok, Ok, I looked, but only for a second! I know by now that there are tons of spoilers on the books so I'm actually a little afraid to look at it even when I have my own copy of the book in my hands! I may take it off with my eyes closed and hide it away until after I finished reading the book. I tried so hard not to read the book summary until I finished reading OotP, but I didn't and I wish I had.
gubbyfish, cool idea you had, making a paper chain to count down the days!

I don't mind seeing spoilers on the outer jackets of the book. I just don't want any spoilers containing information from the contents of the book. I am just so excited about the book's release!!

Well it's not neccesarily a spoiler if it doesn't say anything so I feel no shame in looking. It's the same as the bookstand anyway and everyone has already seen that.

I tried to blow up the picture using iphoto-unfortunatley it distorts the image. I'm not quite sure how to post it in this area, but if someone has any idea, please feel free to let me know!

Why can't that picture be bigger??? I want to see it so much! Hehehe. Those people packing up the books are lucky that they get to see the back cover before the general public.

I almost ALWAYS look at any spoilers I can get my hands of for Harry Potter, but I think my excitement for Half-Blood Prince is SO immense that I decided to wait for the remaining 8 days and 1 hour!

I looked and I couldn't see anything. . . well, I didn't look that hard. I'm sure someone really desparate could copy and blow up the picture, but it's so small, I couldn't make anything out.
I have a friend that works at the Barnes & Noble around the corner. I want one of those Harry Potter boxes. I'm going to see if she'll save me one! I love it!

The back cover seems to be a lot like this picture: http://i.mugglenet.com//hbpstandee.jpg from march...
It features Ron, Hermione, and Ginny looking up at Harry and Dumbledore, with the dark mark and a collumn between them. I'm guessing it's a manipulated shot, to show both the back cover and front cover pictures... it was from Bloomsbury's HBP promotion campaign.
