Book sales- how soon?

[Sultanpepa 841]

There's a book due out next month with one of my pictures in it. The picture has sold before but I'm wondering when this usage will be reported. ie. Could it be one previously reported or can I expect it after the books been published? What's the norm?

I've had few book sale outside of normal stock sites. In my my experience the sale will only be confirmed when the book has actually been published. It's far from unknown for a book to be pulled just before publication, hence they never pay/confirm until after the publication date.

Thanks Paul. I had a feeling that would be the case and gives me a possible sale to look forward to.
