I've been working my way through Complete Works of Mark Twain in the Delphi series.
The quality varies from one section to another. Some of the novels do have annoying typographical glitches: typically, the last letter of a word gets moved to the beginning of the next word. But, so far, I've found the short stories, the essays and satires, and the "library of humor" to be pretty well error-free.
On balance, the formating and typography is much better than most public-domain works. Based on this particular volume, I'd say they are definitely worth the modest purchase price. As ATDrake mentioned, there's the added bonus of the lesser-known material, plus there's a nice sprinkling of illustrations.
Once I've finished with Mark Twain (if I ever do), I'll be looking to buy more of the Delphi series.
