French Foodie: 8:03am 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.

Andy THEODOROU: 9:29am Mar 9, 2007: HI Mara, it would specifically be *outside* back cover, wouldn't it?

outside back cover, OBC
Explanation:
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...
