Holy snap! Need help with pricing

[Trevor Harris]

... So I had a few photos in Air Canada's En Route magazine last year (online version linked below). I was just contacted by a book publishing company and they saw the article and want to use one of the photos for the COVER of their book. They are doing 11,700 prints of the book to start. This is a huge first for me and I'm so excited I can barely contain myself. But the point of my thread is not to boast, I'm looking for advice. I have no idea how to charge for this. Seriously, I can't even guess... any hints as to what you would charge? The book is an educational literacy book for grade 10 students. Thanks so much!

What use licensing terms do they want? What use licensing terms do the need?
Additional print runs would of course be an additional license, but you can offer to quote pricing for those additional print runs so they can budget for them.

Consumer/Trade pays a lot more than Textbooks does, which is why I edited my post #3.

Compare: Textbook - Major illustration, and Consumer/Trade - Major illustration.

The average Textbook price for a press run of 10,000 - 50,000 is $375.
