English term or phrase: cover flats
I realize this term is pretty specialized in English, but a cover flat is a reproduction of a book's front and back covers (with art, UPC code, and so on), presented in side-by-side, one-page format. An example of what one looks like is here: http://booksellerchick.blogspot.com/2006/01/cover-flat-in-al...

Any idea what this would be called in Spanish?

Many thanks.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for this, but I should have been clearer that cover flats are not actually designed to be put around a book. It is a reproduction of a cover, printed in small quantities for the author or publicists, and not meant to be folded. This is an obscure thing, so don't spend too much time researching it. Thank you again.

Asker: As I see it, a camisa de forro is the actual sleeve/paper cover of a hardback book. A cover flat could be a reproduction of the front and back cover and spine of a softcover book, as if they were all flattened out on one page.

Asker: *camisa o forro. OK, no more posts from me! Thank you again.
