It seems pretty "clear" to me that use of by-sa photos in a book mean
that book must be released with the same license. This seems the very
definition of a collective work in 1a of the license: "a work, such as
a periodical issue, anthology or encyclopedia, in which the Work in
its entirety in unmodified form, along with a number of other
contributions, constituting separate and independent works in
themselves, are assembled into a collective whole"

Note that the "other contributions" don't themselves have to be by-sa
works themselves.
