I did notice a few PD books that were being sold. It looks like the same old thing - someone else (not Google) is republishing a PD book and selling it. As discussed before, this is legal. Although if no additional content or value is added to these books, it is morally questionable.
I don't mind paying a nominal fee to someone who has provided a nicely formatted and proofread copy of a PD work, even if they haven't added any of their own content to it. I do object to paying real book prices for it though. If substantial new content or annotations are added, then that qualifies as a new work and should command a higher price.
