Because the Postal Service was subsidized at the time for  periodicals.  
Thus they could control what a periodical was. 
 
whoever discussed the rules, at that time, with the folks representing  
Western, (who produced and printed these book) - "apparently" told them not  too.
  Why? without the actual  written ruling, we dont know.
Too much like a book than a periodical?  shrug...
