    In one sense, each such quote is a blurb*. It’s not clear to me whether “Klappentext” refers to everything on the back of a book, but if it does then blurbs form all or part of that.

    In another sense, we might use “blurb” to mean everything on the back of a book. I’m not completely sure which is correct, but when in the plural for one book, it’s definitely being used as a synonym for “quote” with a little added context.

    * I’m not even sure whether “blurb” refers to only a quote or to the quote and its following attribution. Dictionaries are not clear on this.
