LaTeX files for Lane & Morgan binding project

Jesse

Over at reddit.com/r/latin, I was asked about my working methods for producing “remastered” pdfs of old books in the public domain. For some reason, WordPress doesn’t allow users to upload .tex files as sharable media, so I’m having to share my input files through this blog post.

Adjusting page angle and offset (lane-offset.tex)

%!TEX program = xelatex
\documentclass[twoside]{memoir}
\setstocksize{5.5in}{4.25in}
\usepackage[paperheight=5.5in,paperwidth=4.25in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{comment}

Imposition of book pages onto printed sheets (lane-imposition.tex)

%!TEX program = xelatex
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage{fp}
\usepackage{pdfpages,expl3}
\usepackage[margin=0.25in]{geometry}

Adding section marks to each sheet (lane-folio-marks.tex)

\documentclass[oneside]{memoir}
\usepackage{fp}
\usepackage[margin=1.1in,footskip=0.85in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{alphalph}
