I think that you can reasonably assume that any book released in the last two or three years comes from DP - or at least the vast majority of such. The release date is shown at the start of the book.
The problem, of course, is that the best-known books were the first to be input to PG, and they were typically typed in by hand with many errors. I've just finished reading PG's "Oliver Twist" and have corrected literally
hundreds of errors in it.
