But the customers did not, and did not have to return the books.

But they did not have ready means to retrieve the books, nor should they have been forced to, since they were legally sold books after a certain time.

Rand's books will be legal to sell after a certain time.
2033 in Canada, 2053 in Europe, 2038 for the Fountainhead & 2053 for Atlas Shrugged in the US.
The fact that those times are so far from now as to be ridiculous doesn't change the basic legal concept--the books were sold earlier than permitted; they were not classified documents that would never be legal to sell to the public.
In no other commercial venue are purchasers legally required to return mistaken sales products. Even automobiles and children's toys issue voluntary recalls of faulty products, not mandatory ones.
