There is no copyright notice for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole, so the photo is published without a copyright notice.
Using the search term "Tommyknockers" and looking at the year of publication 1987, we see two possibly relevant copyright numbers: V2214P087 and
For V2214P087, copyright registration numbers must be 12 characters long, and there are no copyright registrations listed under that number, so we can ignore it. TX0002205155 is a copyright registration number, but it refers to the literary work and not the dust jacket nor the photo, so we can ignore that number as well. Thus there are no copyright registrations for the photo itself nor for the jacket as a whole.
Thus the photo is in the public domain in the US.
