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

We have a number of Wodehouse titles here, as well, in our Library.

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:

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?

Thanks, Greg. The murk of copyright is hard to navigate.
