It's a hardcover thing. More specifically, a hardcover with a dust jacket. The piece of the jacket that folds around the cover is called the flap. So, the piece folded around the front cover is called the fron flap, and when you open the book, the beginning of the book jacket info is printed on the front flap. It usually continues on the back flap. So you close the book, turn it over, open the back cover and voila, there's the remainder of the book jacket info, printed on the back flap.

Alright, I am confused.I know where the back cover is, honest. But I'm not certain about what youall mean when you talk about back flaps and front flaps. I don't see any flaps? Is this only for hardcover books?Where in a book is the book jacket info located and where in the back is itcontinued? Maybe I should get more sleep before asking these questions. grin.
