From Wikipedia:

Tigers are Better-Looking is a collection of short stories written by Dominican author Jean Rhys, published in 1968 by André Deutsch and reissued by Penguin ten years later.

Shown here is is the cover of a paperback edition published as Popular Library 03107 in 1976, with cover art by Ann Meisel. The title typeface is Wexford Bold, designed by Richard A. Schlatter and released as a VGC original in 1973. Wexford came with alternates (for M and W), but the descending t isn’t one of them: it’s the font’s default form.
