Thanks for the feedback, Ken. I'll see if I can remedy the problem.

You can get around it by including something like the following under Document > Settings > Preamble:

\setstocksize{8.5in}{5.5in}

And, as Daniel pointed out, the layouts depend on the Memoir class, so you can use other Memoir commands in the document preamble as well.

Best wishes,

I have found your LyXBook layouts to be very good, and I very much appreciate the work you did on them.  The one issue I had, which was addressed here by Daniel, is the way it didn't respond to changes in the page size using the standard page size settings... when using the MiKTek system.

Best Regards,

    Greetings, all.

    I'm the creator of LyXBook, and I'd be happy to answer any
    questions you may have about it.

    When I first created the LyXBook layouts, I licensed some of them
    based on the purchase of my Microsoft Word add-in LyXConverter,
    which converts Word documents into LyX documents:

    https://wiki.lyx.org/Tools/LyXConverter

    However, I'm changing those licenses to be the same as that used
    for LyX itself, the GNU General Public License:

    https://www.lyx.org/License

    That means you can freely use and distribute any of the LyXBook
    layouts (including those that are part of LyXConverter) any way
    you please. I hope you find them useful.

    Thanks to all of you for making LyX such a great piece of software.

    Best wishes,

    If anyone has information about LyXBook, here is where I found
    out about it:

    LyX wiki | Layouts / Layouts <https://wiki.lyx.org/Layouts/Layouts>

    So, the official LyX wiki shows quite a few options when it comes
    to layouts.  Under the section on "book" layouts, you will find
    this entry:

      * LyXBook <http://www.editorium.com/ftp/LyXBookSampler.zip> is
        a collection of layouts from the Editorium
        <http://www.editorium.com/> designed specifically for
        typesetting books in LyX (novels, histories, biographies, and
        so on).

        As I wrote in my reply, it is derived from memoir.
