'AT' or 'ON' ? What is correct? "At the back of the book..." or "On the back of the book..." Both makes sense to me, but I don't know if both are correct.

On the back means on the back cover of the book. At the back of the book, or in the back of the book, could mean at the end of the book/story.

Em geral, At - referência de posição On - superfícies Então pra dizer que algo está tocando o livro (ou encostado no livro) na parte de trás dele, vc usa "On the back [cover] of the book" (adicionar "cover" na frase traz mais contexto). Já para dizer que algo estaria localizado/posicionado na parte de trás do livro, vc usaria "At the back of the book", mas eu acho que "At the end of the book" faria mais sentido, já que como referência de posição você estaria falando da parte final da história contida no livro. Foi assim que eu aprendi kkkk, talvez algum entendido me corrija se eu estiver errado

1. AT - This would indicate that you look somewhere near the end of the book to find something. It is not on the outside, rather inside, like where the index is. 2. ON - This would indicate that you look at the back cover (the surface of it), not around it or near it. I hope this helps you.
