[XeTeX] book size options --- help

[Nicolas Vaughan]

I figured it out. The crop package page-size should be larger than the
geometry package one.
Like this:

\usepackage[paperwidth=170truemm,paperheight=240truemm]{geometry}
\usepackage[cam,width=200truemm,height=270truemm,center]{crop}

Thanks to all for you help.
Best wishes,
Nicolas Vaughan
