This worked. I not have a article that when included as a in a book,
does not print the title, abstract, or table of contents.

For anyone else trying it, after you do it, you may see strange
artifacts in the book view. If found setting the style from "article"
to "none" then back to article again fixed that up.

Thanks Joris
