Question

How do you cite the inside flap of a book?

Answer 1

Go ahead and cite the entire book in Works Cited, and mention just the name in the parenthetical citation.

The MLA style guide states that "when a source has no page numbers . . . no number can be given in the parenthetical reference." That's basically your situation... well, close.

I would recommend, though, that you use a signal phrase (beginning of your sentence where the intext citation is) that indicates your information came from the inside flap.

For example:

The inside flap of this nail-biting novel indicates that it sold an impressive "fifty thousand copies on opening weekend" (Smith).
