The first book that I looked at did not have any obvious indication that it was anything but just the book (Alice in Wonderland). I did find, after reading your comment, HarryT, that the "B & N Classics" have additional material. But, I doubt that the average reader is usually interested in editorial commentary, and just wants to read the story, therefore added comments are not really all that useful to them. For most books, I probably wouldn't care, myself.
Now, if you are a student, taking a literature class, I'm sure the notes are useful. I do like the versions of Shakespeare, for instance, with all the added footnotes and explanations.
