RTFM of the geometry package to make sure you know what you're doing. Put the \geometry{twoside} __before__ you make changes because the \geometry{twoside} will probably overwrite (some of) your custom settings. This is NOT a XeTeX question. Go to
http://tex.stackexchange.com/ for these kinds of questions.

The relevant code is at: https://github.com/shakthimaan/xetex-book-template/blob/master/styles/config.sty#L15 The generated PDF is at: http://shakthimaan.com/dump/book.pdf When I take a two-sided print-out, and cut at the 7.5" horizontal margin on the odd page, some of the text gets cut on the (outer margin) even page. When I open the PDF in Evince in "Dual" mode, I don't see the asymmetry in the margins. What could I be missing? Appreciate any help in this regard, Thanks!
