Howdy,

\documentclass{book} 
\usepackage[backref]{hyperref}

\begin{document}
\begin{thebibliography}{10}
\bibitem{uK05}
Uwe Kern, \emph{The \texttt{xcolor} package.} December 21, 2005.\\
\url{http://www.ukern.de/tex/xcolor.html}
\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}

typesets fine for me. Note: corrected the URL (http:// and /s rather than \s) and also used hyperref's \url rather than \verb+...+.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
