5Sudoku and then some!  Sep 12, 2008
This is a collection of sudoku puzzles compiled by Will Shortz, editor of the N.Y. Times Crossword Puzzles.

There are 250 regular Sudoku puzzles that fall into 4 categories; Light and Easy, Moderate, Demanding, and Beware very challenging. By and large the classifications are reasonable accurate. Nearly all 'easy' puzzles are do-able without notations or an eraser; the other 3 types will need some due consideration, requiring the solver to apply some of the standard Sudoku techniques that advanced solvers know and use, especially with the more difficult puzzles.

In addition, there are 10 super sudoku puzzles which are played on a 12x12 grid (instead of the normal 9x9 grid). But wait, there's more (sounds like a fast sell TV ad, doesn't it) also included are a 5 other games called END VIEW, SNAKY TILES, UP & DOWN, ALTERNATE CORNERS and SPIRAL GALAXIES. These are all number, letter or maze type games that some may find very interesting and challenging, but have little to do with Sudoku.

Conclusion:
This puzzles are nicely sized for making notations and corrections but the book itself is not too big to take on a trip or such if you want to pass some time. It includes a reasonably assortment of easy to very hard sudoku puzzles. There are a few other solitary game/puzzles included as well. A good mixture for any Sudoku enthusiast. 5 STARS

This is a great book. I'm starting with the easy puzzles and working my way up to the harder ones. I bought one for my dad and he is now addicted as well.
