What other shenanigans went on is still a little bit grey (I don't want to know about them, and some might still be illegal). We won't know the exact circumstances (Hitch would be smart to not elaborate beyond what she already said) - it was my assumption that the reverting of rights included world wide publishing rights.

I shall say only that the worldwide rights had, indeed, reverted. The publisher had moved to remove the book world-wide, but as is the case with bookstores everyplace, some are faster to comply than others (THANK GOD).
