How can I refer to a quote from the back cover page of a book in my text?

Hello,
I am using a quote from the back cover of a book. How can I refer to it in the text I am writing?
Thank you for your help

    It depends, I can imagine several scenarios.

    Who is quoting what in your case?

    I would cite it as the whole book, include the quote in your main text and include “back cover” as the page number on your in-text citation

    I think we really need more details to determine the proper course of action, this might not be sufficient. For example:
    - did someone other than the book author write that quote?
    - was the quote originally written in a different source?
