This book contains a LOT of puzzles, and instead of half of them being easy or medium, they are all difficult. Ofcourse, difficult is a relative term, but if you've only solved easy puzzles before, these may take an hour or two. The typo mentioned below must have been fixed, because I didn't find any. It's a very good book really, and it lasts forever!

I purchase this book because the title says 'Difficult'. I have work through many Sudoku books, and was looking for books containing only difficult puzzles - like many veteran Sudoku fans. I was happy when I received the nicely printed one with 200 'difficult' puzzles. I immediately started with the last puzzle to see how difficult they were, and to my dismay I solved it in minutes. The same went the other last few puzzles. I was able to finish them with a few written notes.

Now I have retitled this book '200 Easy Sudoku Puzzles' give away to beginners.

These puzzles may be difficult if you are just starting sudoku, but if you have any experience, these are all pretty easy. They are definitely NOT difficult puzzles. I am solving them on an average of 5 minutes each, with no hesitation as I put in every number. Second edition, with orange cover, has same easy puzzles. This book is not a challenge for any experienced sudoku fan.

These puzzles are nicely in the "difficult" category, which is just right for me.
However, the format is too small for easy notation of possibilities within the little squares.

Puzzle Book is is just as Amazon stated will purchase more from Amazon in the future. Thank you for offering a chance to purchase items thru the mail for those of us who cannot get around very well.
