I think different people do it differently. Personally, I put the cover first--usually have to type it because it doesn't scan well; then the front flap; then the back flap; then, if I feel like it, the back cover. I label each. Some people, I've noticed as a validator, don't have a page for the cover but use one of the inside title pages. Paperback books don't have book jackets, of course, and one is allowed to omit that information, though most members like to have it. Some people, and I think Shelley is one, but I'm not sure I'm remembering correctly, put the back flap and back cover at the end, but when the information on the front flap is continued on the back, it makes more sense to have them together, in my opinion. Shelley or whoever it is may only separate them when they aren't continuous.
