  If a book is in the public domain and someone decides to publish it, does that mean that no one else can publish it? In other words, when someone publishes a rights-free book, do they acquire some rights over the work?
  
  Thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

  No, they don't acquire any rights over the underlying work.
