There are a lot of questions you would need to answer before this is a quotable job. Are you going to be receiving photos from them, or do you have to art direct photo shoots as well. You may want to ask them if they have a budget already in mind. Other questions are if that budget includes printing. Are the products all shot already, or do you need to art direct studio photography?
These are just a few of the questions I would be asking. The other part that makes it hard to estimate time is on how fast you are in InDesign. Once you have a look and style sheets, it goes pretty quick, but those take time to design and make look good. 45 pages is a good sized book and you don't want to short yourself, so I would ask those questions and then overestimate the time you think it will take to do the job.
