BTW: do you set a bleed|crop-box?
No clue? How do I do that? What does it do?
It simply defines the size and position of these boxes (which then become part of the document). In your case any(?) print shop then knows where to crop, even without any crop marks. See also

and (only german; sorry, couldn't find it on the english wiki)

Basically Lulu will print a 9.25"x6.25" image onto their paper. Then a centered 9"x6" page will be cut from that. This way full bleed print is achieved.
if they don't use them, you don't need them :)
I can understand some basic German. I only live a couple of yards from the border. I guess my settings would be like this: Mediabox : 9.25" x 6.25" Cropbox : 9.25" x 6.25" Bleedbox : 9.25" x 6.25" Trimbox : 9.00" x 6.00" Artbox : 9.00" x 6.00" Should I supply metadata so pdfTeX can store this in the final PDF? If so, how do I do it? But Lulu probably doesn't use them... They accept PDFs make with Word/PDF-Printer, so it can't be _that_ complex.
