I am a novice Latex user. I am planning to write a book which should be in 8.5" by 5.5" (text area is 4" by 6.5"). But I have to write the draft in a4 size paper which is bigger than the statement size. Now I make the page in a4 size to be printed as draft for proof-reading.
I want to set the margins of statement size paper inside the a4 sized paper shown in the figure below (Note: the measurements are not correct, my question is to set the right measurement actually). How to do that?
I tried:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,twoside,showtrims]{book}
% \documentclass[statementsize,11pt,twoside,showtrims]{book}
\trimFrame
\settrimmedsize{210mm}{145mm}{*}
\settrims{20mm}{34mm}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-4]
\lipsum[1-4]
\lipsum[1-4]
\lipsum[1-4]
\lipsum[1-4]
\end{document}
