Can anyone tell me what this font is or how I might find out?
Not really, without seeing the book. I note that Amazon does not have a see inside feature. The cover font looks like Avant Garde, but that means nothing about the inside design.
I did a little sleuthing, and found that the 12 edition of that book uses ITC New Baskerville in the appendicies. That is no guarantee that the 11th edition (the one you gave the ISBN for) is the same.
(If you want to check, take a look at the italics. The p in particular is very distinctive, and the s, y and e shapes will confirm it. You can get samples of the font online in several places, like myfont.com and adobe.com, and some allow you to set the font large enough to compare.)
