My book club is reading Bleak House, which I've never read, this month. I've noticed a lot of reprint editions of classics have poor print quality, with blurry or grayish type, and this is hard on my eyes. Does anyone know of a good edition of Bleak House they can recommend? Not too small in the font, good, clear typeface?
thanks!

ETA: I asked Deanna to check the ILL system and here's what she found on the large print edition -- "Yes, officially (it's in large print). Reality doesn't look so positive though. I just checked WorldCat to see if it's available for Interlibrary Loan (ILL), and the only place that has it is Suffolk Coop Library System in NY (as a 4 volume set), and Edmonton Canada has it as one volume. I'll bet Canada won't send internationally."

Oddly, I found the signet edition (crappy paper and all) the most readable typeface. It was about 11 point times and printed very darkly. Of course, it has no margins to speak of and the spine therefore eats the opening letters at the inside. I think if I were to read it again I'd go with making my own. But signet is also dirt cheap, so splitting the binding to read it isn't such a great loss, at least financially.
