Andreas THEODOROU Mar 9, 2007:
HI Mara, it would specifically be *outside* back cover, wouldn't it?
French Foodie Mar 9, 2007:
Hi Richard
this is already in the glossary: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/874190
as outside back cover, or simply back cover.

As Mara says, this is already in the glossary, but I'm adding my answer here just for the sake of completeness, and so that we get a proper glossary entry out of it

...and as Andy has so rightly pointed out, it is quite important to specify that it is *outside* back cover, as of course IBC = 3e de couverture!

Isn't it just?

Sadly, the 'term search' facility is a little cronky to use, but it's always worth persevering.

The credit should really go to Mara, who got there first with the right answer; but I'm happy to have been able to contribute later...
