The then-called Western Electric found out about it and had US publication blocked by some copyright rule, I think. I read them as part of a UNIX internals course, but distribution was restricted to Bell Laboratories. The above is only partially true. The Lyon's stuff is available to UNIX licencee's thru the ATT Bell Labs Computing Information Librarian at Murray Hill, all you need is 'proof of source licence'. My understanding (I was at UNSW with Lyons then) was that since ATT was protecting UNIX as a Trade-Secret, that not stopping Lyons would have amounted to not protecting via a Trade-secret !!
