Yes they did, the GPL is the set of conditions they made for access to their work. > If a book is in my hands, a vendor no longer has the ability to > direct > what I should be able to do with it. This is just common sense. No, the vendor doesn't have any further ability to control what you do with it (the vendor does not own the copyright). But, the author/publisher (whoever owns the copyright) of that book DOES have an ability to control what you do with it. If it is full rights reserved, then you do NOT have permission to make copies or modifications of the book and then redistribute them.
