Text book stock photo rate?

Bud · 02-22-2008, 06:22 AM

I have been contacted by a text book company that would like to use one of my images. I've never sold anything other than prints I've donated to my 73-year-old mother's garden club for charitable purposes.

I'm calling on the experiences and knowledge pool of this forum to guide me on this one...

I have in mind what I think is a fair price, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Here's the verbiage from the company...

"We can provide compensation, a photo credit and a complimentary copy of the finished book..."

My assumption is that it will probably be 1/8 of a page.

Do you negotiate or are you just happy that you'll have an image in a text book with your name attached?

Thanks for taking the time!
