What do you mean by "in the public domain"? It became "in the public domain" as soon as it was published and distributed, right? In other words, you're saying that copyright law does not apply in the case of this book? In other words, you're saying that no permission from anyone is needed to copy the original work, verbatim, along with a forward? I'm no copyright lawyer, but somehow I don't see that as being legal.
