That's true. And I do have a nice collection of the stories from another publisher.

But I've seen these versions dominating the shelves and it really just strikes me as very classless - using the stories as merchandising for the show and plastering Cumberbatch and Freeman on the cover, even though the images do not really fit the content or the settings of the books they're on.

On the opposite end of this, Disney republished the original John Cater of Mars stories in 3 big volumes. These books are also mostly in the public domain (besides 1 or 2). The editions they put out weren't plastered with the movie poster or Taylor Kitsch - just a few small drawings that actually reflected what was in the books.

I think that's the right way to go about it. And over here, those books were very hard to find in bookshops so it was really welcome.
