And your number one top reason is the biggie. It's a "great deal" because they say so and they are selling the product. So, it really isn't so much an article, as it is an advertisement, geared at people who don't know much about public domain books. As long as people understand that it's an ad, and that ads spin the truth in order to push the product, I have no problem with it ....
