Two Villages by Louisa Brannan
The title on the cover is set in spaced caps from Gothic Extended No. 40. The author’s name is added in Jenson Old Style.
Here is a book entitled Two Villages, by Louisa Brannan, published by Every Where Publishing Co. in circa 1911. Unfortunately, I could not find more information on the author, or the book.
But I stumbled upon the title page, and immediately got excited about the typeface used for the title, which is De Vinne (c. 1892) by Gustave F. Schroeder. I can’t tire of seeing that G with its towering vertical and sharp spur; that wide E with serifs that put so much emphasis on the horizontal strokes; and yes, even that backward-falling calligraphic S!

The text typeface appears to be MacFarland (or one of the other American adaptations of Römische Antiqua).
The typeface used for the sticker on the back is unidentified.
