Dust Cover Blurbs

[Sadie Hunt <sadieh@VISER.NET>]

Thanks to all who responded to my query about what to call the blurb.
Some said its a blurb. Some said jacket copy or flap copy. Liner notes
and teaser were mentioned. One person recommended including "taken from
dust jacket" in the citation.
    Still, my recommedationto the student will be to cite the jacket
only if she can find a reference to it in the most recent edition of the
MLA Handbook!
