You are not right.

It's legal to own it and to read it. And it's legal to buy the old books from antiquarian booksellers. - Or short: The book isn't illegal.

It might be a Problem, when there is a poster in the shop window.

The only way was, to use the copyright to prevent new reprinted copys. (Of course they could rule only selling it in germany.) That's why the federal state Bavaria is using the copyright so restrictive.
