I hope this is something approaching the right forum for this question. I've been wondering about the little teaser snippet you see at the front of most paperback books, especially sci-fi/fantasy novels. It's not like the blurb you get on the back cover but typically a short, high-action piece from somewhere in the novel. Does that page have a name? If so, does anyone know what it's called? I've started calling it the snippet for lack of a better name but I'd like to know its official name if it has one.

Thanks.
