<div>Thanks, Axel. I didn't know about the truecm units.<br>Cheers!<br> <br></div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">I use geometry to set the final (trimmed) dimensions of the bound book <br>

By the way...<br>My publisher requires me to hand in the final PDF with crop and register marks (I'm not sure what are these last). Apart from the crop package and the memoir class options, what can you recommend me to deal with this request? Any experience in handing ready-to-print work?<br>
