Back cover question

I'm curious: what kinds of stuff do you like to see on the back of a book you have already bought online? In other words, you don't see the back ’til the book is in your hands, so it's not like browsing in a store where you might read a blurb or review tidbit that encouraged you to flip through. What about extra graphics, like the image on the back of GhosTV? I guess I see that as a "special treat" for the book buyer.

I'm trying to lay out a book cover and going through the "blahs" today.

Mandapanda I like to see some sort of image or scene from the story. For example in the Channeling Morpheus book with that crazy female vampire - maybe a shadowy view of the room she held Michael in, with hints of some of the gruesome stuff in there. Something mysterious maybe.

Jordan Price I'm thinking more images is the way to go. Thanks for commenting!

Jordan Lombard I agree. I loved it when I found out the cover on Zero Hour continued on the back. I felt so special becuase I had the print copy and most people who didn't would miss out! hehehe.
