That's b/c
you are thinking of "blurb" in
the classic, original sense--a bit of promotional, flattering text
written by person A, about the book

Everyone else uses "blurb" to mean "book description."
(Offered FWIW: the term "blurb" is defined as "a promotional statement (as found on the dust jacket of books)"
