I forgot to write earlier in the week that I did hear back from Joanna about the scans. She says that the art department can work with the 600 dpi grayscale versions. Yay! My spot illos are saved! She's not ready yet to tell me what to scan. She'll let me know when she starts laying out the book (probably in a couple of weeks) what art she needs.
Speaking of which, I was interested to find out that the same person serves as editor and typographer for the book. I think that's really cool -- there were lots of times that I was laying out text on a cover or brochure, and one little word change would have made the line breaks work so much better, but of course we couldn't change the copy. The firm I used to work for did mostly brochures, sometimes book covers, but never books themselves. So I don't really know how that works.
