Page before inside title

Has anyone figured out how to do a page before the inside title in a DocBook book? This is typically a page that has blurbs, etc., and normally appears as the very first page in a book, before the inside title page.

I can get a page after the inside title and before the TOC by using <dedication>, but I can't figure out how to get something in front of the inside title.

Thanks,
Dick Hamilton
