These are public domain, no? So is this a good edition? Well-formatted, few typos?

Could this reformat of public domain Wodehouse be the work of the same Acheron Press blogged here? Probably not. The official catalog would suggest otherwise, as does the lack of a copyright page (even if the material's PD) in the provisional Amazon mobi edition:

Booksellers please note: Books published by Acheron Press are distributed by NBN International in the UK and Europe, and by Chicago Distribution Centre in the USA.

I just scanned through it. It appears to be well-formatted and I saw no typos.

Seems to be yet another fake publisher name, masquerading under a true publisher's name.

This one does classics, at amazon and on itunes; no website, etc.

A 1934 novel by someone who died in 1975 is not out of copyright anywhere, is it?

If you are referring to Right Ho, Jeeves, it's copyright expired and wasn't renewed, so it's public domain in the US. More details here: http://spontaneousderivation.com/200...tenberg-texts/

It's not a renewal case. My understanding is that it was published in the US with a copyright notice that claimed a copyright from before 1923. Up until 1989, the copyright notice was important for US publication. The date in the notice started the clock for when the copyright ended. If you published it with an incorrect date, it could have two effects. If you published with a date in the future, you simly had an invalid notice and the work was thrust immediatly into the public domain. If you had the date in the past, it simply became the effective date of the start of your copyright term.
