I am creating the first pages of a book and I want one page with just the title and the next page to have title plus the authors and some other stuff. However LaTeX places the title differently on the pages because of the other text on the second page which is not on the first page. How can I make the title go at exactly the same location on both pages?
Here is an example of what I mean:
\documentclass[10pt,twoside,titlepage]{book}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\vspace*{0.3 \textheight}
\LARGE
\noindent
\textsf{bla bla}
\huge
\textsf{\textbf{Bla Vla Bla}} \\
\cleardoublepage
\vspace*{0.3 \textheight}
\LARGE
\noindent
\textsf{bla bla}
\huge
\textsf{\textbf{Bla Vla Bla}} \\
\normalsize
\noindent
\begin{flushright}
\begin{minipage}{0.4\textwidth}
Author 1 \\
Author 2 \\
Author 3 \\
\end{minipage}
\end{flushright}
\end{document}
