I'm not sure, it's nothing I've got. The closest matches I got were Century Schoolbook and Modern No. 20, but it's neither of those for a couple reasons.
 
I love a type challenge... it's Clarendon. With the height squashed/reduced by 20% (to 80% it's normal cap height).

For an exact match, it's 29pt on 20 pt leading (line height). And a little kerning thrown in.

;) :p

Oh, and it's got a faint dark 1px border around the type.

Plain 'ol typography ;)

Actually looking at it, it's a different version of Clarendon to the one I've used. I think mine is either Adobe or Linotype Clarendon. There are probably a lot more versions with ever so slight variations.
 
Derivative of Clarendon is : Rochester.
This cover could be light Rochester, but it is Clarendon, we FontFoliotted people know this :D
