2. Delphi's prices for PD works are extremely modest - given the amount of work obviously done with the formatting, collecting of more obscure works & collateral items (photos, reviews, letters, texts in multiple languages, etc.).
3. They do listen to reader suggestions -- producing the Dickens evolumes of individual works, or the Mark Twain Lite version.

So yes - I think they are worth the price - esp. with Delphi's practice of offering monthly discount codes for purchases over $10.
This, I've had them respond and fix errors the same day I've contacted them. I'm very impressed with their customer service.

The collections are worth the price to me...though some of them are huge!
