Why don’t you get somebody to do your research, somebody to collate your illustrations, and get somebody else to write your book. Your publisher will take care of printing and distribution. Then all you need to do is sit back and watch the money roll in.
You are making money off this book I presume, so you should pay for the photos within it.
Here is an idea of the sort of costs involved. I base my photography prices on Alamy or Getty’s royalty free rate.

I’m sure your boss would love you to “help him out”, by “just running these few pallets up the road”, without payment…

I would, but I don’t have a wide angle lens on this phone.

That’s not cheap, crikey! No wonder this fella is trying to get images for free.

Photographers need to pay rent, eat, and pay tax just like truckers.
I wonder if photographers are on a website, laughing, and taking the ■■■■ out of drivers, and other workers, for expecting to get paid for their work…

Being a photographer, I can attest that gear isn’t cheap, insurance isn’t cheap, editing takes time and it is highly annoying when people think that taking photos is “easy” and shouldn’t be paid for.
If you want a book to be filled with iPhone pictures then it’s not a book I would be interested in.
If you want a book that is genuinely well put together, then spend a little bit of money and get some proper photos taken, it will make a huge difference.
(Also bear in mind Getty take 50%-70% of that price, sometimes more depending on the terms ) I’ve sold over £3k of photos on Getty, I’ve actually received around £600.

I dabble in amateur photography myself so yes I’m aware of some of the costs, fainted at the price of some lenses!
I’m not saying the price isn’t worth it, just didn’t realise one image could be worth that.

I tried… I realy did…
So you’re writing a book. I presume it will be a picture book, with very short captions. Because if your post is indicative of your writing skills, my earlier advice regarding someone else writing it for you, is the key to your success.
