It seemed ironic that they were charge $10 for a book that you can download for free at Project Gutenberg and that it wasn't even available in multiformat.

I obviously have too much time on my hands.

If it has decent notes, an introduction, etc, it's probably worth paying $10, just as one might pay for any other work which is in the public domain. Public domain does not mean "you can't charge for it".
