But we are talking about formating content that is in the public domain. The blade cuts two ways. What about scanning the work? That is effort too. I think this type of scam is something we just have to live with. Better than having all the copyright problems in the public domain too.
Back to topic: You could write an introduction or add explanatory footnotes to the text. Both would be your intellectual property. Of course they could just rip that out, but at least it would require effort on their side.
Another way would be to contact the shops selling the books. Even if it is legal, they don't have to sell them. Maybe they don't want to be associated with such behavior or want to protect their customers and stop selling them. As someone said in the other thread, amazon for example wouldn't sell this books.
