“Sudoku is dangerous stuff. Forget work and family—think papers hurled across the room and industrial-sized blobs of correction fluid. I love it!”
--The Times of London
“Sudokus are to the first decade of the 21st century what Rubik’s Cube was to the 1970s.”
– The Daily Telegraph
“Britain has a new addiction. Hunched over newspapers on crowded subway trains, sneaking secret peeks in the office, a puzzle-crazy nation is trying to slot numbers into small checkerboard grids.”

Customer Reviews
Perfect for sudden sudoku urges
Will Shortz is one of my favorite sudoku editors. The puzzles are interesting, require a variety of solving styles, and are well rated for difficulty. This book's large size is just perfect for propping on one's knees in an easy chair. It stays open without effort. The size of the grids is just right. Those of us who have struggled with some really hard puzzles might find too many easy ones here, but even the easy ones are interesting, and I find myself enjoying them when I need a distraction rather than a challenge. The rich offering of so many puzzles at many levels of difficulty makes this a book to go back to again and again.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
I bought this book just after it was published in August 2006, to take on vacation. I'm up to #953 (Feb 2007), and sure hope I can find another giant one like this!!! (Or I have to erase all the puzzles and start over). The grid size is good, and characterization (easy/medium/etc) is good. It's definitely improved my technique, and I recommend this to anyone who loves sudoku.
Will Shortz: My Puzzle Hero
Will Shortz has done it again. These puzzles are organized by difficulty: light and easy; moderate; demanding; beware! very challenging. 1000 Puzzles! I will still be working on these puzzles well into the next decade!
