Hi Garvin, I require a cover page for all my eBooks. There are various packages that can do that, but I quickly discovered by far the best way is to finesse every font, every spaceing, every size in the frontmatter. Sometimes I create special styles just for the frontmatter. My experience is that trying to make the frontmatter in styles-based authoring is walking the trail of tears.
