I have completed both of the Sudoku books in this series. The very best part is that they are spiral bound!!! I have not found any other Sudoku books that are spiral bound. It is so much easier to hold and work on with this type of binding. It is also printed on nice smooth white paper rather than the fibery, yellowish paper in the cheaper versions. I am very sensitive to papers and especially their dyes and this is the ONLY kind that doesn't bother my allergies. Great job putting a few extra pennies into making a nicer product. If they come out with more in this series, I will buy them all!!!

This Sudoku book has two things going for it. 1) It's a palm size, spiral bound flip book; and 2) the pages are made of regular paper instead of newsprint. No more trying to hold the book open while writing on a curved surface as you would with a regular bound book, and you can erase without fear of tearing the paper or obliterating the print. Nuf sed.

the book is too tiny for me to use. It would fit in a pocket, but there's no room to fill in possibilities, so it's not useful for the way I solve Sudoku.

I agree with other reviewers that the spiral binding is terrific. However, if you enjoy tough Sudoku puzzles this book is not for you. The book is divided into three categories: intermediate, expert, and grand master. I started at the beginning of the book with the intermediate puzzles. When it became readily apparent that these were not challenging enough, I switched to the grand master puzzles at the rear of the book. As a point of comparison I normally work the puzzles in the daily newspaper which begin on Monday with easy puzzles and get progressively more difficult throughout the week. I find the Friday and Saturday puzzles to be challenging. The puzzles in Sudoku: Medium to Hard are not as challenging as the Friday-Saturday newspaper Sudoku puzzles.

A well-bound, compact document; very well organized and easy to use; made to carry and use where space is limited. An excellent choice for serious Sudoku gamers.

this is great for on the train or when you are traveling and dont want to bring a huge book.

I love the format of the book... the flip pages make it very easy to work on each puzzle, and I like that there's a little room at the bottom if you feel like making any notes.
The only thing that I'm not as excited about is that I am able to complete the medium difficulty puzzles in one sitting- like a matter of a few minutes, while the difficult ones often take quite a bit longer. I guess I wish that either the medium ones were a little harder, or the difficult ones were a little easier, or that there were some in-between.
I would definitly buy the book again though, as at the very least when I'm stumped on a hard one I can massage by ego by going back & doing an intermediate one :) Then when I come back to the harder one's I'm typically able to pick up pretty soon after. By far my favorite formatting of Sudoko / puzzle books (flip pages). Hope this helps!

This is a perfect sudoku book for traveling. It is lightweight and easy to use with the spiral binding. My travel schedule requires 100+K miles per year. This book has lasted through 9 months of travel and kept me entertained.

The book has three levels. The medium is challenging but not difficult for the experienced sudoku fan. The hard puzzles are a mixture, with some only taking me ten minutes while others took me hours.

I would highly recommend this sudoku book.

I'm a beginner Sudoku player, but this little book is a good one. It is small and handy with the spiral spine. I also like that the answers are there, it keeps me interested in continuing when I am stumped on a puzzle. Good value & great fun.

I buy these for my husband but so many are much too easy. This one gave him a challenge and the book itself is nice to travel with- harder writing surface.
