Actually, I don't believe these last two -- John Carter and the Giant of Mars and Skeleton Men of Jupiter -- are in the public domain here in the US, based on their dates of publication and the whims of varying copyright laws.

John Carter and the Giant of Mars was originally published in 1940
Skeleton Men of Jupiter was originally published in 1943

I'm sure both copyrights were renewed.


They're available at the Australian Project Gutenberg, but not at the US site.
