Looks like pietvo gave perfect advice for changing the margins on the titlepage, but I was going to suggest trying
gmeometric package, which allows you to use different geometry-package settings in different parts of the document. I don't have a lot of experience with that, however.

The background image is a modified scan of a page of Russell and Whitehead's
Principia Mathematica, which I GIMPed up to make it look aged and coffee-stained. You probably don't have the complete book (which is a three volume behemoth, published from 1910-1914), but you might have an abridgment.
Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy was written as sort of a beginner-friendly non-technical introduction to
Principia Mathematica. Anyway, the background is just a scan, though I definitely wouldn't think to try to recreate that kind of technical material with anything but (Xe)LaTeX. I wouldn't even try to convert to HTML unless MathML were an option.
And unfortunately, SVG support isn't much better than MathML support right now.
