Definition from own experience or research:
Blurb, distilahkan sebagai keterangan ringkas penerbit tentang isi sesebuah buku pd jaket, kulit belakang buku, dan lain-lain. Dalam pengertian yang lebih luas, ia juga merujuk kepada tampalan/nota/iklan (advertisement) pada bahagian kulit buku atau majalah.

Example sentence(s):
  • Contoh ayat: Buku hasil nukilan Dr. Rommel Gavionno itu mengisahkan tentang kegiatan dan aktiviti tentera Nazi dan Itali di Tunisia ketika perang dunia kedua dahulu. Buku tersebut telah dicetak menggunakan kulit keras, dan terdapat ringkasan (blurb) telah ditampalkan di bahagian belakangnya yang menerangkan akan biodata dan rumusan buku. - Tatabahasa Melayu 

Explanation:
Kebiasaannya istilah`blurb` atau ringkasan penerbit terletak di bahagian belakang buku. Di Malaysia, ringkasan penerbit untuk buku-buku sejarah dicetak selepas bahagian mukadimah di belakang buku.
