Illustrators generally base their fees on 'usage'.
Here is a link to a UK site (The Association of Illustrators) where you'll find
how illustrators arrive at a fee, examples of fees for different uses and a useful
Acceptance of Commission form.
Of course the fees are in GB£ but you should be able to get an idea.
edit: I've found I can't post URL's as I haven't posted enough times so go to:
www(dot)theaoi(dot)com
Under 'resources' in the left hand menu you'll find 'documents'.
The pricing guide and commission form are in there.
All the best with the book.
