It may not be DRM but sure has RM... called copyright... you may own the physical item but have no more rights concerning copying the content than a DRM'd eBook... all you actually own is the material the book is printed on and wrapped in... no different to DVDs where you own the DVD but not the material on the DVD. The only real difference is that you can easily transfer the medium (containing the content) to another person but this still requires that you don't retain copies...
