I always put [cover] and put what is on it, i.e., title and author, and describe a picture briefly if there is one. I don't bother with the back cover which usually is reviews unless there is info hat seems important, e.g., infor re the autho o a credit for the over illustrator. I also put front flap and back flap in backets and copy that infor. I don't start the page numbering for the pages that precede the text until after the back flap.
