Providing Photos for a Book

**"* H* <g*@charter.net>**

I've written a couple of books, so I know how to negotiate a decent advance and royalty agreement.  But, now I'm faced with a proposed photo-driven book for which the publisher wants me to provide all the photography.  I can do this easily, as I have extensive archives on the topic.  But, I don't have clue what to ask for as payment.

Do you expect to be paid outright for the use of your photos in the book and in marketing of it?  Or, is a larger advance and a bigger royalty percentage better?  Are there any pitfalls to watch for, any potential contract problems or other things of which I should be aware?

Hoping you photographers and photo-journalists on the list can shed some light.
