Simple way to have no (apparent) cover pages in PDF output

I’m trying to use DocBook to build a short Quick Guide type
document. I want the book or article title to be printed like a first level
heading with very little other default stuff like copyright, author info, etc.
, and no page breaks after the rector and verso pages.

 

I’m able to pretty easily get just the elements that I want
and no others, but for the life of me I can’t see how to avoid a page break
before the content. I think it might be that the chapter elements get a page
break by default. I can’t seem to deduce how to make the output not have a page
break before the chapters. 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Alan
