Here is how I would handle it.
On the page where the standard copyright notice belongs, put an ARR 
notice, with a pointer to the "Intellectual Property Rights" page.

On the page labelled "Intellectual Property Rights", there is a 
statement to the effect that material not listed below, is covered by 
the licence on the Copyright Page.  Material listed on this page is only 
covered by the ascribed license.

Article # 1:  This article was created by John Doe, and is distributed 
under the CC-ND 2.5 Licence.
Article # 2:  This article was created John Q Public, and is distributed 
under the CC-ND 2.5 Licence;
Image # 1:  This image was created by John Doe. It is used under the 
CC-NC 2.5 Licence.
Image # 2:  This image was created by Jane Doe.  It is used under the 
CC-NC 2.5 Licence.
etc.

Just make sure that all of the articles --- including the introduction, 
preface, and appendices are listed on the "Intellectual Property Rights" 
page. Also make sure that all graphics are listed on that page.

The reason for doing it this way, is that every item is clearly labelled 
as to what licence it is distributed under. It all announces that the 
licence a specific work is distributed under takes precedent over any 
other licences mentioned in the document.
