Oh, yeah. Given the prices on textbooks, I'd say the production
budget is a fairly secondary consideration. You probably should have
started out in the high six figures.

The ASMP is a scam. The dues are $335 a year, for which one gets basically

Asking for $300 could very well be a deal killer here. I wouldn't be surprised
if the book publisher is hoping to get the pics for free or for a token amount.
If he can get $150 for the three pics, he'll be doing very well. Credit will
depend on the pubs style and guidelines. They either do or they don't provide a
credit. It's generally not negotiable. Most magazines credit photos; many book
publishers do not. Don't know why.
Last time I sold a picture for one-time use in a textbook, it was for "Rights:
Non-Exclusive, One-Time, English Language
Distribution: World<20,000 Print and eBook" and I asked for (and got) $175.
Then they wanted to use it in another book almost a year later... and I got
$175 again. So....
(This was with McGraw-Hill, who does have a budget for sure.)
