This is the best value book i can find - with 240 puzzles plus. Don't be put off by the For Dummies title - this has puzzles split into easy, middle and hard - and like the reviewer above - hard, really meant that - fiendishly tricky in fact. Totally recommended - the best i've found by far.

Su Doku is a number puzzle originally developed in Japan. It consists of a 9x9 grid, divided into nine 3x3 sub-grids. Each row and column must contain the numbers 1 to 9, which means that no number can appear more than once. Furthermore, each 3x3 sub-grid must also contain all the digits from 1 to 9, which again means that no number can appear more than once. With each puzzle, some of the numbers are already in place - your job is to fill in the blanks. The number and positioning of the numbers given to you will determine how easy or difficult the puzzle is. There is - or, at least, there should be - only one solution, which can be solved by reasoning and elimination.
The bulk of "Su Doku for Dummies" is made up of the Su Doku puzzles themselves. (Thankfully, their solutions are also included). However, it also starts with an explanation of Su Doku's rules and provides a detailed approach on how to start solving the puzzles - which is very helpful for those, like me, who have never tried them before. If you are already a successful Su Doku puzzle solver, you'll probably not learn much from this section. You will still, however, have over 200 new puzzles to solve.
You don't need to have studied maths in depth to enjoy Su Doku - a knowledge of Calculus isn't required, while those who studies Classical Mechanics will have absolutely no advantage over those who didn't. However, a sense of logic, a pencil and an eraser (don't rub too hard, though !) will be a great help. Highly recommended for puzzle-solvers everywhere !

OK, I'll admit it, I'm getting addicited.... The great thing about this book is it just has SO many puzzles (240 in all). My initial concern that they might be a bit easy (you know, 'for dummies')disappeared as soon as I picked up my pen and started work. The easy ones were fine but my brain got seriously knotted when they got trickier. Definitely recommended.
