His original publishers were Minotaur Press or St. martins Press, part of Macmillan Publishers who are considered Big Five I believe.
I am thinking they must have authorized or contracted for the books to be published but of course perhaps he had a special contract. But there are, IMO, tons of midlist and/or obscure authors who are being republished in ebook form. And many are very popular although not best sellers. I assume, perhaps wrongly, that the majority are probably quite happy with the situation.
