Specify first time opening page

When I open a newly created iBook, I briefly see the cover picture and then the iBook opens in contents mode with Thumbnails for the Opening page and prefix pages followed by the various chapters.

Is there some way to specify that the first time the iBook is opened, it opens to the first prefix page which is what I call the opening page that has the title, author's names and affiliations, copyright info, ISBN number, etc.

Typically the first time a book is opened it flashes the cover and then on to the intro media if you have added any. Then to the first page of the book.

Once you navigate into the book and close iBooks or open another app, iBooks opens to the last viewed page next time you open the book.

The book will not go back to the opening page next time you open the book unless it was the last page viewed.
