What you can do is make your version the best version, and explain in the description why it's better than the other versions also available.
Hmm. I wonder, if someone were to buy that copy, can they then turn around and sell multiple copies of it?

Meaning, if I spend a lot of time formatting and cleaning up a PD text I've found on the internet, and then sell that on Amazon say, would it be legal for someone to buy one copy from me, maybe change the cover, and then turn around and sell that themselves?
