Here's an example: 150 pages b/w = about 150 Eur + 8.5 Eur/book + freight 200 pages b/w = about 180 Eur + 10.7 Eur/book + freight It is also fun that they offer to stock it for you and sell it to people, i.e. the buyer order it from them and pay them etc. Then the author (i.e. you) get payed quarterly :-) In this case they add about 1 Eur/book to cover their costs. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-790 91 37 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr Mechatronics lab, Dept. of Machine Designhttp://www.md.kth.se

I came up with 138x238 mm, but just now I tried searching for S5-format and found several sizes: 170x240, 165x238, 170x238 Does anybody know what the actual size really is?

There is sometimes a difference between what is measures of the sheet to be printed and printing layout (because in commercial printing there is some space resereved for cutting, binding, trimming paper etc.), so the official size of A4 is either 215x305 mm (untrimmed) or 210x297 (trimmed; which is the size of the sheet of paper you usually buy in a store).

I managed to track down a s5report.cls that has been in circulation at my department. Most people seem to write their thesis in FrameMaker here otherwise. This is an excerpt: \DeclareOption{s5paper} {\setlength\paperheight {240mm}% \setlength\paperwidth {165mm}} I guess that means that is the trimmed paper size that I should enter into LyX?

I'm leaning towards that the trimmed S5 size is about 168x236mm, since I actually measured the size as 168x238, and the extra 2mm in page width might well be because of the binding. (It was also difficult in general to measure the width of a page without ripping it out of the thesis). /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-790 91 37 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr Mechatronics lab, Dept. of Machine Designhttp://www.md.kth.se
