I would have a go at this myself, but don't know the first thing about formatting a book apart from running it through Calibre.

Your calculations are incorrect. Work enters the public domain at the beginning of the year following the 70th anniversary of the author's death. Wells died in 1946; his work will, therefore, enter the life+70 public domain on 1st Jan 2017.
