Sure. They also often put out hardcover editions. But that is, among other things, a marketing strategy.

IIRC B&N's print PD books were pretty much just the text. Signet may also have taken the same approach.

The point is that it is not illegal or unethical to charge for a public domain book. PD is completely open and unprotected, for anyone to use in any way they see fit.
