From the Back Cover

Not all Sudoku are created equal. Printed in energetic full color, each of the puzzles in this calendar is handmade, not computer-generated, giving it a singular elegance and ensuring it strikes the perfect balance between challenge and solvability.

It’s like a mind game between you and its maker. The puzzles begin easy every weekend and grow more difficult over the course of the week. From Nikoli—the Japanese publisher who launched the Sudoku craze—it’s the original, and simply the best.

I was looking forward to another year with the Sudoku page-a-day calendar. While I do like the new formate for the puzzle I am disappointed in the calendar lay out. I wanted a calendar like the one last year that could also be used to mark appointments for the current day or in weeks to come. This calendar format has each page separate, no space for writing things to remember or the ability to flip ahead in the year to mark notations, so this will just be a puzzle calendar and not my daily working calendar.

I enjoy playing Sudoku and the puzzles in this calendar are entertaining. The colors make it a cheerful addition to my desk top. I buy it every year and it's become part of my New Year's celebration to take it out of the package and do the first puzzle. The bonus of getting access to another Page-a-Day calendar online with my purchase is a nice extra.

Second year with sudoku page-a-day calendar. Absolutely love it. I do it every day--even bought one for a friend. Well worth the price.
