I really feel there is a need to view title pages for academic 
materials, although I don't see it as a substitute for cover art but as 
yet another piece of information. A good part of the library cataloging 
rules is about creating a surrogate for the title page -- so if the 
title page is so darned important, we should be showing it to users, 
along with the verso, which often has the copyright notice.
