PDF files are the standard in the industry. When printers ask for print ready files, they are asking for a PDF file.

Most printer will also accept the following files:

Manuscript text and Interiors
Quark, InDesign, MS Word, Wordperfect

Covers and Graphics
Quark, InDesign, Photoshop, Corel Draw, Illustrator, EPS, JPEG, TIFF

If possible, you should convert your images to CMYK before sending them. Any files produced in RGB (red, green, black) format will need to be converted to CMYK for print by the printer. Sending RGB colors graphics, will often cause final color of the printed output to be slightly different than what your monitor might have displayed.
You should also make sure that all images are 300 dpi.
