Out of curiosity, could you name some of those authors?

E.E. (Doc) Smith is the most obvious. I think his books up through the First Lensman are in PD and can be found at PG. If you look on Amazon, you see a number of Complete Lensman compilations for $1. I also see a number of Lester Del Rey books.
I also noticed that Zelazny's Lord Of Light has reappeared in Apple's Books store. It list his son Trent as the co-author, which lead me to hope that maybe it's legit. On the other hand, the listed publisher has a somewhat suspect reputation and it's not in the Amazon store. All the legit Zelazny books are listed with the private Zelazny publishing company.
