Page Layout ⇒ Amsbook and b5paper

[ionica]

For my thesis I have been using

\documentclass[b5paper]{amsbook}

but I never thought to check whether the output was really B5. Now I am ready to send everything to the printer, but I discovered that amsbook does not support b5paper and the output has paper size US Letter. It seems amsbook only supports Letter and A4.

Is there a trick to make the output directly B5? I would very much like this.

My other options are now using A4 and have the printer resize the pages (will be quite ugly) of using another documentclass (will probably mess up many other things).

Hi,

have you tried using b5paper as a package option for geometry? Something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{amsbook}
\usepackage[b5paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text for the example

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-50]
\end{document}

Thanks, works like a charm!
