I can understand some basic German. I only live a couple of yards from
the border.

I guess my settings would be like this:

Mediabox : 9.25" x 6.25"
Cropbox  : 9.25" x 6.25"
Bleedbox : 9.25" x 6.25"
Trimbox  : 9.00" x 6.00"
Artbox   : 9.00" x 6.00"

Should I supply metadata so pdfTeX can store this in the final PDF? If
so, how do I do it?

But Lulu probably doesn't use them... They accept PDFs make with
Word/PDF-Printer, so it can't be _that_ complex.
