Well, Nova, as I'm sure this was a rhetorical question, I have to be obtuse and just jump in and say, "They don't... only the owner of the book profits from that exchange."
But you already knew that, didn't you! ; ) But in fairness, by selling the book the seller also sells all rights to copy (or use previously copied) designs which are in the book. But that isn't usually an issue, since sellers of old books are not interested using them any more, or they would keep them.
