Explanation:
As Mara says, this is already in the glossary, but I'm adding my answer here just for the sake of completeness, and so that we get a proper glossary entry out of it

...and as Andy has so rightly pointed out, it is quite important to specify that it is *outside* back cover, as of course IBC = 3e de couverture!

Isn't it just?

Sadly, the 'term search' facility is a little cronky to use, but it's always worth persevering.

The credit should really go to Mara, who got there first with the right answer; but I'm happy to have been able to contribute later...
