Metadata of the font says its licene can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/type/legal.html Be sure to read it. It's probably best to check with Adobe before using it commercially or just buying it. But at least you can try out the font in context, which is already a plus. Other commercial fonts can only be judged from specimen, and not in your own text environment.

That would probably come in at 30-60 bucks (but that's nothing if you are serious aboutt your book). If not, some of the above can be obtained for free (still being commercial fonts, e.g. Minion with Adobe Reader, Hoefler Text is on Mac OSX...) > > Be sure to read the license for those: many of these bundled fonts are only 'free' for use within the application they came with.
