[XeTeX] book size options --- help

[Nicolas Vaughan]

Hi Rembrandt,
Thanks for your reply.
I use this:

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

but with no results (I see no cropmarks).  Any ideas?

Cheers!

Nicolas
