backTitle

backTitle refers to the text or graphics that appear on the back cover of a book, often distinct from the front cover's title. This back title can serve multiple purposes. It might repeat the main title of the book for clarity, or it could be a subtitle that elaborates on the primary title, offering a more specific description of the book's content. In some cases, especially with academic or technical books, the back title might be a very specific phrase or set of keywords designed for indexing and categorization.

The design and content of the back title are usually determined by the publisher and author to best represent the book to potential readers. Unlike the front title, which is primarily for identification and aesthetic appeal, the back title often aims to provide more context or information. This can include a brief synopsis, key themes, or even a tagline that encapsulates the essence of the work. Its placement on the back cover means it is often the first thing a reader examines after browsing the front of the book, making it an important element in the decision to purchase or read further.
