If I saw these in a store I'd be incredibly tempted, even though I've read them all and at least the middle three are public domain works that I've also got on my e-reader.

I know publishers love them because, well, they're free. Wake me when someone pays a modern translator and cuts a new translation. Paying a designer to come up with a yet another pretty cover does not a classic make. Cute, but yet another print of the terrible, but copyright-expired, translation of Verne’s work?
