Article titlepage like for book

[Marc Baaden <baaden@smplinux.de>]

Hi,

I have an existing docbook "book" of which I need to make a shorter
article-style version. However I would like to keep my customized
book titlepage. If I just switch from book to article - keeping the
very same customized titlepage - it results in a very different title
representations on top of the first page.
Is there any way to keep the book title page? (eg there was an image
on it, and it takes a whole page, the actual text only starting on the
next page.

Thanks in advance,
  Marc Baaden
