If not, no direct sympathy for you either - just the advice to look to including it in future.

And you think any author (except maybe Rowling) can get a clause reverting rights if the publisher and one particular book distributor have a falling out? Not gonna happen. Perhaps your experience with RPG contracts gives you a misleading view of how book contracts work.
Not to mention that it would be stupid to try to pull rights to a book just because one retailer decided to pull something like this. What are you going to do with those rights? Who's going to buy them?
