Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'series' modifies 'title' (the title belonging to a series) and together they modify 'page' (a page showing that title). This straightforward noun-noun composition follows common English patterns and is likely understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Series title page is an extra page at the front of a book that shows the series name and the title. Librarians used this clear page to see which books belonged together, so today it helps libraries keep track of books in a 'series'.
