General ⇒ Cover page problems in LaTeX

[Bluemilk]

I have another problem with my report I'm supposed to submit. I am using the book class for it. It is supposed to be printed as a double sided copy, so the alignment of the actual contents differ. That is, the even numbered pages have this "right justified" appearance when printed while the odd numbered pages have this "left justified" apperance when printed. That is fine...

However, my title page (since its the first page, it's an odd number) has this left justified appearance when printed. That is not what I want... how do I make my title page appear in the "middle" of the page?

Hope you all understand what I am talking about ...

Hi Bluemilk!

The title page of the book class is not the cover page. You may expect that the cover page of a book has equal left/right margins, but when you open the book you will see the title page, and that has the same page layout like an odd numbered inner page of the book. That inner title page is produced by \maketitle.
You could create the cover page as separate document with a different layout.
