Try this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7.5pc\relax
  \begingroup
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
      \leavevmode \hskip-\leftskip
      \rlap{\vbox [EMAIL PROTECTED]
          \centerline{\normalsize\mdseries
              [EMAIL PROTECTED]
          \vskip 3pc}}\hskip\leftskip\fi
     #1\par \endgroup
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \vskip\skip@ }
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 7.5pc\relax
  \begingroup
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  #1\par \endgroup
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  \vskip\skip@ }

I think that should work.

I'm just looking in amsbook.cls, finding the chapter definition
(\newcommand\chapter) and tracing through it until I find some offending
"\centering" commands I can remove.
