If I create a model in Solidworks, Can I then use an image of this model in a book for commercial purposes?
AFAIK yes that should be OK if you've created the model yourself.
This "White" image goes out to our photoshop team and the add customer specs and then it's seen in a sales book.
Of course you can...

Are you using commercial license or are you using student license?
AFAIK yes that should be OK if you've created the model yourself.
