What is a blurb? its for a book cover....?

Question

give me examples and definitions please!!!

Answer 1

It's a short promotional piece of writing on a book jacket, designed to whet the potential buyer's appetite for reading the book.

It usually contains a teasing statement about the book, such as some clever plot device, and it may contain a bit of interesting info about the book.

Pick up any hardback and you'll see an example.
