I've just looked over some older books, and they did used to say "this book is sold subject to blah blah it is not loaned out, hired other otherwise distributed ..."
Newer books don't seem to come with these stipulations printed inside the first page or two. So it seems that at one time, it definitely wasn't legit to loan out books.
