This looks really interesting.

Can some kind soul please upload (at least one) of these books to archive.org? That seems a much better place for Public Domain works than google drive.

I understand that the people releasing the books may not be tech-aware enough to realize that many people will not download them from google drive (this is not for technical reasons).

This looks like an interesting option I did not think of. Can anyone upload there? If so, I'll upload them myself. I was mostly aware of the Internet Archive and did not think of archive.org when it comes to books.
Yes, anyone with an account can upload https://archive.org/create/
Great, then I'll give it a try
Apparently a kind soul bet me to it and already uploaded the files to archive.org: https://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Shuzo+Fuji...
Thank you so much for doing this (or, at least, intending to) and apologies for calling you "not tech-aware" :)

Also thanks to our anonymous benefactor who actually uploaded the books to archive.org.
