Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. However, I would need a little more guidance. I'm
not sure I follow your suggestion completely.... I will tackle only the
extra titlepage for now...

Our print customization layer (myprint.xsl) imports the a few XSL sheets,
including a customized titlepage.xsl file called prn-titlepage.xsl, which
is generated from prn-titlepage.xml. The 'myprint.xsl' file also includes a
customized title page, ironically called 'mybook-titlepage' (with
mybook-titlepage-first, mybook-titlepage-even and mybook-titlepage-odd also
defined).
To my print customization layer (myprint.xsl) I added the 'front.cover'
template as follows, taking the 'content' from the
'article.titlepage.recto' from the generated prn-titlepages.xsl sheet ....
It did not give me an extra titlepage ...
<!-- Adding a second title page -->

<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>

select="articleinfo/mediaobject"/>
