The problem is that when the font size is so large (or the screen is so small) that all the contents cannot fit into one page, a page-break is inevitable. When that happens, the content of the last page is not visible. ADE shows TITLE and AUTHOR on one page, but on the next page I find the table of contents rather than the publisher. My guess is that the publisher disappears because I have set body to 100%, i.e. that the publisher is "below" the reading screen instead of placed on the next screen. Could there be a work-around for this?
I think you'd have hard time doing it with CSS2. You need either media queries (will be there in EPUB3, may already be there in iBooks) or XPGT (Adobe-specific extension).

Personally, I do these sort of pages (covers, title pages, etc) with SVG scaled to fit to exactly one page. Otherwise you have to invent yet another CSS layout strategy for any new layout.
