IANAL but I'll give it a shot. Your quote above is an example of vertical price fixing which has been found in the US to be a legal form of price fixing. What we are discussing is horizontal price fixing among competing book manufacurers which is not legal in the US.

Since 1997, the US Court divided price fixing into two categories: vertical and horizontal maximum price fixing.[5] In State Oil Co. v Khan,[6] the US Supreme Court held that vertical price fixing is no longer considered a per se violation of the Sherman Act, but horizontal price fixing is still considered a breach of the Sherman Act.
