It's bad enough when you are trying to get ideas... It's awful when you want to correct or double-check possible mistakes in PG sources. You try to check other versions and virtually all have the same blatant errors, even those which are scans from recently published versions. Almost anything in Google Books published after ~2000 is useless for this.

How these people can even call themselves a "publisher," when they've done virtually no work at all, is beyond me.

They are publishers, not editors: they publish, they don't edit
