I seriously doubt it. Why would you need to do so in the first place? The books are in public domain, and a snap to get it in non-DRM ePub or well over a dozen formats. That alone would, from what I can tell, undermine any possible fair use claim.

The original publication date and copyrights for the new material are all on the copyright page. That's pretty much all that's required afaik.
