\thispagestyle{empty} is only active in the page where it belongs (anywhere in the page), so you need to insert two commands of the like in a way such they are in pages 4 and 5. Putting it near Preface will say it twice if the title pages are already empty.... Hope it does the trick :-) -- Jean-Pierre
