Collins gives that as the second meaning of descatalogado for books and records. Examples:

If it doesn't mean out of print - and I think you're right about agotado - it must mean unlisted.

deaccessioned


Explanation:
In the sense of taken out of a collection, not in the collection's catalogue anymore.

It is the professional term used by museums for artworks removed from their collections and libraries for books removed from their collections.

Fits perfectly in the context of the sentence.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry but the list continues and includes "libros que creíamos agotados"... In general, "agotados" is out of print. I'm not entirely sure, but I get the feeling here that "descatalogadas" refers to editions that are not officially "listed" as having ever been edited. What do you think?
