Yes - quality can vary highly among different volumes - as mentioned in the above posts - and typos can be quite irritating ... that said:
1. Delphi will correct their texts and issue free updates. Early purchasers (and readers) can help greatly in this process by submitting errors back to the Delphi website - esp. those recurring "substitution" errors that occur throughout a work - and can be rapidly corrected.
2. Delphi's prices for PD works are extremely modest - given the amount of work obviously done with the formatting, collecting of more obscure works & collateral items (photos, reviews, letters, texts in multiple languages, etc.).
3. They do listen to reader suggestions -- producing the Dickens evolumes of individual works, or the Mark Twain Lite version.
So yes - I think they are worth the price - esp. with Delphi's practice of offering monthly discount codes for purchases over $10.
