Hi David,
natk’s suggestion was the correct one for what you want. Study the section of Bob Stayton’s DocBook book linked from natk’s note. Here’s the link again, as well as the follow-on section of Bob’s book about “Print title pages,” by which he effectively means PDF title page:

Sorry my terminology was probably confusing and wrong.
I am primarily creating an Eclipse Plugin Help file. The PDF is a spin-off from that.
I am actually creating a Manual - rather than a book and I want my manual's "front cover" to look something comparable to other product manuals - for example an IBM Manual where a logo/image is present and the title is a short way down from the top.
