I believe Subterranean is in error here

Seen over on Subterranean's site:
I can't get the formatting to look not-ugly:
ISFDB:
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
Card's bibliography:
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
Kaye's Website:
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
And I believe the introduction to Ghost Quartet says:
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
In fact, I think it might be more accurate to say it was never published by the Science Fiction Book Club. Not as an original, not as a reprint.
I can't get the formatting to look not-ugly:
In the last couple of days a number of Subterranean Press customers and readers have sent us e-mail expressing their concerns and in some cases anger over the novella Hamlet’s Father, written by Orson Scott Card, which we published earlier this year. These concerns and complaints are serious enough that I want to address them.
Let me first admit that these complaints about the novella have caught flat-footed, in part because the work is a reprint. The novella had been published twice before, first in the 2008 Science Fiction Book Club anthology The Ghost Quartet, edited by Marvin Kaye, and then in a later reprint of that anthology published by Tor Books.
ISFDB:
The Ghost Quartet, (Sep 2008, ed. Marvin Kaye, publ. Tor, 0-765-31251-4, $25.95, 304pp, hc, anth)
The Ghost Quartet, (Sep 2009, ed. Marvin Kaye, publ. Tor, 0-765-31252-2, $15.99, 304pp, tp, anth)
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
Card's bibliography:
“Hamlet’s Father”
The Ghost Quartet, ed. Marvin Kaye (Tor, September 2008)
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
Kaye's Website:
THE GHOST QUARTET, Tor Books, NY, 2008
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
And I believe the introduction to Ghost Quartet says:
"Tor Books made the final choice for this quartet: they wanted Orson Scott
Card, which suited me fine, as I'd bought two superb stories from him in
the past. I hadn't realized that, like yours truly, Scott is a Shakespeare
teacher and scholar. A new twist on Hamlet distinguishes his highly
original peek beyond the scenes of Elsinore.
Note the total absence of the SFBC.
