For printed documents, book creates multi-page front matter; title
page, table of contents, etc.

I believe that the contents of the title page may also be slightly
different between the two, but those differences are typically
confined to less-commonly-used tags like abstract.

There may well be other differences.  For FMs, I'd recommend:

   http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/styling/styling.html
   http://docbook.org/wiki/moin.cgi/

I don't know that any of the above will help with this question.
