I followed the link you gave for "Flight from the City" and see the
ebook posted states it is "copyright 1933".  So it is not in the
public domain in the U.S.
Not necessarily.  If the 1933 copyright wasn't renewed (around 1961),
then it's in the public domain, and PG could clear it under "Rule 6".
(It looks to me like it wasn't renewed.)

Thanks for the correction--I should have qualified my comment. I'm
aware of rule 6 but I guess it hasn't quite penetrated my awareness
that PG is routinely clearing books published after 1922 on the basis
of the copyright-renewal records now available for searching. (So far
I've limited myself to pre-1923 books.)
