If you find that the book has already been uploaded, you are very welcome to upload a new version provided that it "adds" something different to the version already present - this might be a better layout, a new format, significant proof-reading and correction, proper dashes or "curly quotes", for example. If this is the case, when you upload your new version, please add a link to the earlier version (or simply say who the uploader was), and state in the description of your book how it differs from the earlier version.
6. Uploads here should add some notable "value" to a PG (or whatever) original (for example: nice reformatting, artwork, a TOC, footnotes, etc etc). There's really no point in posting here something which which a poster can get from the original source in two minutes."
It is clear that a straightforward duplication is not an addition, in any sense.
But I agree with mtravellerh. The original poster intended a gift and I'm entirely prepared to believe that this is a misunderstanding.

Please read what I wrote. If you have a book that follows the guidelines (which includes it is not a duplication) then why can you not upload it if it happens that somebody else have produced the book (and added values to it)?
It is not implied by the guidelines that you have to produce the book yourself.
