I have quite a few, but I recently picked up the "The Complete Sherlock Holmes (The Heirloom Collection)" from Amazon. It's very nicely formatted and has quite a few color images.

Here's the link to that Amazon edition:

http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Sherl...+Collection%29

I also picked up one of Harry's compilations here at MobileRead, which is also extremely nice, with a ton of illustrations by Sidney Paget - and it's free.

Here's the lrf (discontinued Sony format) with illustrations:

This edition needs to be run through Sigil to remove the bold text (if that is one's preference). I was unable to get calibre to do this. Too, I was unable to quickly find a mobi or epub illustrated edition from Harry. So if someone wants to look for that......

Here's Harry's Mobi version (without illustrations):

Here's Harry's epub version (without illustrations):

There are a ton of individual Sir Arthur Conan Doyle titles created by crutledge also here at MobileRead, although I have not looked at these. (If he has created a compilation volume, I was unable to find it doing a quick search.)

There's what appears to be another very nicely illustrated edition from Amazon, but without "The Casebook of Sherlock" volume, since it was apparently deleted for regional copyright reasons. The title is Sherlock Holmes Illustrated [Kindle Edition], and is located here:

http://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-Holme...d+and+Complete

I do not own this edition, but it does look very nice and the price is right.

I would personally avoid those older MobileReference editions [do not confuse MobileRerence with MobileRead], since they do not use an emdash (—) through their text, but rather two dashs (--), and they appear to be very sloppily formatted.

I was wondering if you have a favorite collection and why.
