Quote per hour. You know better than anybody else how much an hour of your time is worth. Consider design, meetings, amends, ask about proof read, photo editing (you will need some retouching regardless) and production sourcing/qa. Think about your printing costs. More often than not you will need to proof your book, and let's say you have to print the whole lot a few times, there's over a 100 decent colour printed copies. Oh, and if you don't have yet a set of standard terms&conds make sure you get one beforehand.
Once you got your number, do it times 1,5 and add VAT.
...and after all that, if you like the project, probably you will end up taking it on whatever money they want to pay you.
