Just to remind you: if you own the copyright on the photographs you
are in no way required to mention Wikimedia Commons or the license of
your photographs, because they are non-exclusive. You can re-release
your photographs under any license you want (including commercial
non-distributable licenses). Of course, if you want to mention Commons
/ the license, that's really cool.
I don't know how long the credit may be, but maybe something like this:
"Photographs on pages X, X, X by Rama Rama. Released under License X.
Distributed by Wikimedia Commons:

An author has contacted me to use some of my
photographs in a book (a
big, serious, scholarly, several-volume thing). He contacted me, and
several other users, after seeing images on Commons. Consequences:
1) Commons does get some visibility, and provides images to serious
work. Cheer up, people !
2) The author is enquiring how I wish to be credited. What do you
people think would be a concise yet effective way to mention Wikimedia
Commons in such cases ?
Cheers !
