Is there a need to use such big images? You said in a previous posting that they were line art, if that is the case, then line art only needs to be 1bpp (i.e. black and white). If the images are in fact 8bpp and use more than 2 colours, then I doubt you need them at 1200dpi - certainly not is that is the final output resolution.
I seems to me that you are using excessively large images than you need to be using. Maybe you could say what the intended production method is for this document? It helps to know how a job is to be printed so you can make the correct judgement on image resolutions etc.
I know this is not really relevant to the discussion of the problems with loading TIFFs but once it is clear how the job is being printed people can give helpful suggestions as to what sizes the images need to be.
"All illustrations, either as CRC (line figures), prints/transparencies (photographs) or as digital images. If you're submitting the images digitally then they should be saved at a minimum resolution of 1200 dpi for line figs/300 dpi for photographs, when saved at the size at which they'll be reproduced in the book. TIFF or EPS files, please."
