I will when I'm more comfortable with ConTeXt.

I'm sorry, it's a commercial image. I don't own the copyright. However
it can be purchased at high resolution (color) for an affordable price:
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/people_specific_attributes/race/mixed_background/3259587_old_paper_xxl.php?id=3259587
I hope the link doesn't break, if it does search for "Old Paper XXL".
iStockPhoto has lots of really good artwork available at reasonable
prices.

Indeed, it would be nicer to have the cropmarks on top. Though this is
not essential to me. Lulu.com actually doesn't want crop marks.

No clue? How do I do that? What does it do?
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.
Though I'm still wondering about one thing: What's better in my case
\printpapersize or \overlaysize?
Thanks for your excellent help,
