Hi Luca, I agree totally with Konrad. Rather than shopping around for a document class that will let you insert the page, do it yourself with ERT and custom styles. I've written quite a bit on the general subject of saving the document class's power for the mainmatter, and doing the frontmatter yourself with ERT (LaTeX inserted into LyX). See the second to last paragraph here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx- us...@lists.lyx.org/msg73574.html See this thread: http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-make-a-title-page-td475804.html See my post in this thread: http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=lyx- users&a=2008-07&t=8091631 Once again, I agree with Konrad, use ERT to put it in. On all my eBooks I use ERT to insert a cover page before the title page, and it works out just fine.
