'Sudokus are to the first decade of the 21st century what Rubik’s Cube was to the 1970s.' -- Tom Utley, The Telegraph, 2 Mar 2005

Book Description
'On no account should any reader, not already hooked, so much as glance at a Sudoku. That way lies addiction and madness. Sudokus are to the first decade of the 21st century what Rubik's Cube was to the 1970s. They are an obssession that divides the population' Tom Utley, Daily Telegraph Sudoku is a hybrid: its name derives from Japanese (loosely translated it means 'number in an allotted place') and its form can be traced back to the magic squares invented in 18th century Switzerland. The result is a numerical brainteaser that is fiendish, compulsive, and, in the simplicity of its rules, 'sublimely beautiful'. This collection, which ranges in difficulty from the gentle through the tough to the diabolical, is the most extensive on the market. 'Sudoku is dangerous stuff. Forget work and family -- think papers hurled across the room and industrial-sized blobs of correction fluid. I love it!' The Times

Format:Paperback
This is a great book of sudoku puzzles, over 130 of them. They are printed quite large (compared to the times puzzles), and you get more of them (there are only 100 in the Times books). Also, they get harder than the Times puzzles.
There is a good section at the beginning about how to solve the puzzles as well, with a full description of most of the methods used to solve the puzzles

Mepham (the author) seems to be the only man in the world who likes his Sudoku to need trial and error and it stinks. Sudoku is beautiful when it's pure logic. For goodness sake, there is enough crossing out required as it is, let alone having to simply guess a number and follow down to its wrong conclusion and then go back and start all over again. My advice would be to try Carol Vorderman's book with 200 puzzles (plus lots of tips) or Big Book of Sudoku with 200 puzzles but no tips or timings. Enjoy those instead.

OK, so you are happy with life, feeling quite chilled and contented, loads of time for your family and friends. Buy this and you will be like me; obsessed, resentful of interruptions, staying up deep into the night, longing for the paper boy to deliver the next fix. Don't believe me? Then don't go there.

Book arrived on time but in very bad quality-described good, should have been acceptable. Some of the sudoku already done and scrawled all over.

BAD BOOK AND POINTLESS PUZZLES WITH TRIAL AND ERROR
I love Sudoku but I really hate these puzzles. The author likes 'trial and error' and composes the puzzles so that you have to try out one number (no brains required), work all... Read more
