Pricing style guides is tricky since they have so much unseen work behind them. Hopefully the client realizes the price includes not just the time to create the document/site, but also all the work, thinking, approvals, etc that needed to be done in order to come up with those rules (which is usually most of the project). For example, the client may first pay for a design job, then they have to pay again for you to build rules around your designs, and test those rules - and the deliverable from that second assignment is the style guide.
For this reason, I've usually heard of style guides charged on a per page basis (or on a site as suggested above, a per "topic" basis) which ends up being pretty expensive if the client was expecting just the cost of laying out a document or building a site.

flashbender - So, flashbender, this is essentially a layout problem. Or maybe gathering graphics?Josev
