A lot of tradpub authors signed away their digital rights for peanuts in the pre-kindle era, especially those with old contracts that only covered print editions. So it is not impossible that a small ambitious operator might have acquired them in the 90's. They might have even passed through multiple hands over the years; book contracts often outlast the companies that negotiated them.
