Since you feel that it is bogus, why not send a query to Random House?
It appears as if the book [the original edition] is now in the Public Domain in certain countries, Canada being one of them. (The United States of America is not one of those countries.)
From Wikisource:
"Some or all works by this author are in the public domain in the United States because they were published before January 1, 1923.
"The author died in 1962, so works by this author are also in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 50 years or less. Works by this author may also be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works."
