Looking for a nice edition of the complete Sherlock Holmes

My dear fellow Sherlockians,

I am on the lookout for a nice edition of the complete Sherlock Holmes and would like to ask if any of you can recommend one?

I am looking for:

- preferably hardback
- not too small
- easily readable font
- not necessarily a one or two volume work (too heavy to read comfortably)
- quality paper (i.e. no shining through of the back page!)
- illustrations optional but always a plus :-)

Today I had a look at volume 1 of the Barnes and Noble 2012 hardback edition (in my local library) and was very disappointed. The font is nice but hard to read (IMHO) and most importantly there's hardly any margin on the page! Absolutely no space to make notes.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Oh, I love annotation! That sounds fascinating - but my volume worked well as something to read.
