Definition from
Journalism.co.uk:
Brief introduction to the writer, usually following the headline.
Example sentences:
It is a tricky job because the blurb writer wants to provide as much interesting information as possible about the author in one or two paragraphs. (Edinger House)
Secondly, copywriters are able to bring a freshness and vitality to a blurb that an editor or author who has been immersed for months and sometimes years in a book may find in short supply. (the penguin blog)
Look for the flow, the voice and the style of the blurb as well as length and language. (Associated Content)

text de prezentare
Definition from
own experience or research:
La cărți e textul de prezentare de pe coperta a patra. Dar se poate numi în mai multe feluri: anunț redacțional, anunț de reclamă, acroșaj publicitar și chiar ”blurb”.
Example sentences:
Blurb-ul este textul de prezentare de pe coperta a patra a unei cărţi sau de pe spatele unui CD / DVD. [...] Blurb-ul cărturăresc e mai tehnic, mai sobru, pierzând de multe ori din vedere aspectul comercial: de ce ar trebui posibilul cititor să parcurgă paginile cu pricina? Cunoştinţele literare ale vizitatorului de librării sunt supraevaluate, aşa cum sunt subevaluate cele ale cinefilului. (Atelier LiterNet)
Copertele 1&4 pot prezenta mai multe elemente de text: asa numitele “blurbs”, citate fie din alti autori, fie din reviste de specialitate sau cotidiene; premii obtinute (sau doar nominalizari); mici rezumate ale cartii; “strigaturi” de genul “un thriller psihologic cutremurator” s.a. (Nemira)
blurb n (book: write-up) anunţ redacţional s.n. blurb n (publicity notice) anunţ de reclamă s.n. (WordReference)
