[Tex/LaTex] Front page in document class book not centered

Question

I'm using the document class book and I am designing my front page atm.

I try it like this:

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}

\thispagestyle{empty}

\begin{center}
FRONT PAGE \\
\end{center}

\newpage

\chapter{First chapter}

Foo

\end{document}

But this way it isn't really centered.. It's a bit on the left side, isn't it?

I hope you know this issue and know how to fix it!

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

define another page layout for the first page:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}
\savegeometry{origin}
\geometry{rmargin=2cm,lmargin=2cm}% for the title page
\begin{document}

\thispagestyle{empty}    
\begin{center}
FRONT PAGE 
\end{center}

\loadgeometry{origin}% restore the orign margin setting
\chapter{First chapter}
Foo

\end{document}
