Seriously it is the best scam ever. Here are all of these classic books in the public domain - can't make any money off of them and even if you could no one wants to read them (generalization I know). Slap a few zombie references in every couple of pages and some funny illustrations and you have (a) found a way to take it back out of the public domain and (b) opened up a whole new demographic who will read it because they think it is a zombie story or merely because they like the idea of the humourous desecration of a classic work they were forced to read and intensely disliked at some point in their life. Brilliant. Minimal effort for maximum results - they should be teaching this in business school.
