Page Layout ⇒ How do I get rid of the blank page after the title page?

[alanq]

I'm using the book class to typeset a book.

The 'standard' is for the title-verso page (aka copyright page) to go on the reverse of the title page.

However, \maketitle inserts a blank page.

I've tried creating both pages as 'ordinary' pages, but then the title page gets a page number.

Short of some further fudge involving the fancyheader package...
How do I get rid of the blank page after the title page?

Thanks.

I hope this is a simple question, I've done plenty of searching here and elsewhere.

I cannot duplicate the problem.

If I simply do the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\title{A title}
\author{An author}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Some stuff
\chapter{A chapter}
some stuff
\end{document}

Then no blank page is inserted after the title page. Please reduce your problem to a minimal working example or else I fear it will be impossible to diagnose.

frabjous you are brilliant!

My very silly error was putting the title-verso page after \frontmatter.

It should be:

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

\include{titlepage}
\maketitle
\include{title-verso}

\frontmatter
\tableofcontents
etc...

Thank you!
