When I am preparing a book, I go through the body of the text formatting and inserting appropriate codes and styles as and where necessary. Having embossed a hardcopy and proofread it, and made any necessary corrections, I then produce the table of contents. incorporating the front pages for each volume, if the book transcribes to more than one volume, is the very last thing i do. This is to avoid the very problem you are having where you have used the h1. style to surround the text of the front page. I was so glad to hear that "Aunt Flow" was not in the room and therefore, was not in the know!
