Hi Bart, here is a reaction, even though perhaps not the one you're looking for: why would you want a multi-page abstract in a book? Have you thought about using a different environment for what you are trying to accomplish? To stress the obvious, abstracts are short summaries generally used for articles only. I don't know the details, but it is very possible that the possibility of a multi-page abstract is not even contemplated in the latex class you are using. Hence the problem you are facing. If you're trying to provide something like an "Executive summary," a combination of unnumbered document divisions (i.e. the starred command" *chapter, *section, etc) and ad-hoc formatting may be all you need. Or you may look into the memoir class, which offers a more powerful abstract environment than the standard classes. I think the Komascript book class offers similar facilities.
