Looking for a nice edition of the complete Sherlock Holmes

[mekare]

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.

I have this one. Single hardback volume, which I didn't find awkward to carry in a bag (I read a lot of it on trains). Dimensions approx 24cm x 16cm x 5cm, weight just under 1.5kg. Margins approx 1.5cm (and 2.5cm at bottom of page. No illustrations. Sample page attached, which should give you some idea about the font, margins, and whether the text showing through the paper would be too much for you.
