Is there even a "publisher?" It's a public domain work that was available as a free ebook before B&N got into the business. I don't know how they source their B&N Classics line, but it's possible they prepared it in-house.

Ah, the Ars article answers our questions. The mistake has been confirmed by several sources now, and the book was prepared by Superior Format Publishing.
