Well, this worked, thank you!
I can safely say I would not have found that on my own...
Could I trouble you for a version to take me to the page *before*,
i.e. the inside back cover? I now realise I may need to put content
there too, and if not I can just do another \page to get to the
outside back cover.

OK, but my real document *will* have these - this was just a minimal
example. Originally I wanted to put the arrangment commands outside
the document, but I then put them inside too in case it helped.
