Hi Murilo,

using the book style I redefined the chapter-title macro, which the 
Table of Contents depends on, and the redefinition removed the double 
page before the table of contents. Of course one should do it 
differently, by building a new set of macros for the table of contents, 
so that one can adjust it independently of chapters; despite this I 
think that what I did shows that the redefinition works.

Could you please describe more in detail what you observe?
