The Essential Book of Su Doku, Volume 3: Advanced: The World's Most Popular Puzzle Game

I am almost finished with this book. I've been nibbling away at it for a long time and am asking for another copy for Christmas so I can start the fun all over again. The size of the book is perfect and the paper quality is perfect. All the puzzles are interesting and challenging, unlike The Essential Book of Su Doku, Volume 2 (Don't waste your money on that one - even the level 5's are boring to do!) I do wish this author/publisher would put out another one like it.

I got my dad hooked on this first, then I started SuDoku. I bought both of us this book & I just finished it & I NEED more. I have been looking on line to order something like this book but have not found what I am looking for just yet. This is by far, the best book out there. Bring on Volume 4!!!

This is the best book of harder sudoku that I've seen. The puzzles appear to be hand-created, unlike the randomly created junk found in some other books. In many difficult puzzles, the solver is reduced to penciling in possibles fairly early on, then searching through lots of tiny numbers for clues. In this book that's rarely necessary (and least in Levels 1-4, which is as far as I've gotten.) The book has a nice small format, and the paper is very white and of excellent quality. All in all, highly satisfactory!

Level 1 of this book is like level 5 on the Vol 1 book of the same title. I can only solve about half of the level 5s in this book. These puzzles are excellent for those who have mastered the medium and hard level puzzles in most newspapers. But be warned, these are hard compared to vol. 1. I can't wait for the next advanced one. I may even buy a second copy of Vol. 3 since I don't remember the answers anyway!
