True, that. But in my case I have read all the stories/books so many years ago (from print edition) and I keep it just for the feel of it, it is being a classic and all. So, I was compelled by the illustrations etc. in that aspect. This also seems to be pretty comprehensive in that they included introductory essays and detailed notes about few stories etc.
I am almost sure they used the public domain texts you mentioned without much proofreading etc. but if you have any specific details/example errors etc. somewhere, I will just compare it with the book.
Even knowing that it most probably has errors, I still consider that as my favorite edition (might not be for reading, though
).
