Book cover lettering from 1953 -- an era when hand lettering was being supplanted by photo type.
In either case this looks like condensed lettering perhaps derived from Warren Chappell's Lydian, published by American Type Founders in 1938.
I have not found a digital match to the letters, but there is some similarity to Lydian Bold
Suggested font: Lydian Bold

Another possible influence is a horizontal condensation of Robert Hunter Middleton's Samson published by Ludlow in 1940.
Suggested font: Samson Classic
