 Is it a bug in xelatex (I tried both tl-2013 and tl-2014)?
 
 I would say it is a tikz-bug. \hoffset disturbs it. I found
 another one some time ago: http://sourceforge.net/p/pgf/bugs/295/.
 
 

Thanks for pointing the trouble due to \hoffset, but I am wondering if
it is only a tikz bug: xelatex is the only tex-engine with this
problem: as I said lualatex gives correct result but also latex and
pdflatex (if you remove specific xelatex preamble of course).

Anyway, I have a way to solve my problem now: I will study the doc for
geometry and pdfpage packages as suggested by Herbert and Ross.

What about a solution like this:

 \setlength{\topmargin}{19.6mm} %19,6mm=45mm-1inch
 \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{24.6mm}
 \setlength{\evensidemargin}{24.6mm}
?

Thank you for helping.

 Hi Francois,

You can easily achieve it by geometry or by zwpagelayout. I should try
it with zwpagelayout with cropmarks enabled because in this case I
change \hoffset and \voffset...

 Then the way to do this in TeX is *not* with a single TeX run.
 Typeset your book using LaTeX, using the publisher supplied dimensions
 for the page content.

 The run a 2nd (La)TeX job that simply includes the pages of your
 typeset book, as if images.
 The  pdfpages.sty  package is very good for this.
 You lose annotations this way; but it is for printing, isn't it?

Or you can do your own \loop and use just graphicx.sty

...



 When I have done this, it was the first edition of the latex companion
 and in the second edition, the offset commands are still there!

These are basic TeX registers, they were always here, will remain for
ever. They are documented in The TeXbook but not in books on LaTeX.
LaTeX honours them but packages may assume zero values when
calculating distance from the (1in, 1in) reference point using
\topmargin, \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin.

Of course, well designed packages should take \hoffset and \voffset
into account but users should use LaTeX in the LaTeX way, they should
not combine LaTeX and plain TeX methods without knowing what they do
and what may happen.
