The block containing the book title on a recto titlepage is output by the
division.title template in division.xsl (it is also used for formatting
titles for set, part, and reference). 

Customize this template by adding the following immediately after
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>:

 <xsl:if test="parent::*[local-name() = 'book'] or
ancestor::*[2][local-name() = 'book']">
   <fo:inline color="red">&#8482;</fo:inline>
 </xsl:if>

This appends the trademark symbol (here coloured red) to book titles.
