I am currently working on typesetting a book and I have been fairly consistent about following the Van de Graaf canon. However, the question arises when dealing with the front matter, whether it is ideal to remain consistent with the canon on the title page (which is likely going to contain artwork within the whole textframe) or whether to abandon it in favour of something a bit more centred.

Are there any stylistic discussions which address these concerns, or alternately, any illustrations of these usages in context?

The covers are always centered, but the interiors are typically consistent.

If there is a large amount of decoration, it is typically fully centered (with gutter adjustment) but with any "bookish" content still biased to be consistent.
