One thing about Sudoku Puzzles, they are addictive! Sudoku puzzle books are rolling off the presses to satisfy that addiction. You now have many puzzle books to choose from.
Maybe you are like me. I love to read books. I love to solve Sudoku puzzles. I do not like to spend hours solving just one puzzle. If there is a faster or easier way to solve Sudoku, I want to know about it.

Maybe you are like me. I love to read books. I love to solve Sudoku puzzles. I do not like to spend hours solving just one puzzle. If there is a faster or easier way to solve Sudoku, I want to know about it.
Fortunately, there is. Sudoku puzzle books not only give you plenty of puzzles to solve, but the best books also teach you additional Sudoku techniques and skills. Here is a synopsis of my favorite Sudoku puzzle books.
Mensa® Guide To Solving Sudoku” By: Peter Gordon
Puzzles by Frank Longo 271 pages
This is by far the best book on solving Sudoku that I have read! You do not need to be a genius to understand the new and exclusive Gordonian Rectangles method and other advanced techniques. Puzzles that many people think are insolvable are now solvable. I love it!
This book also contains 800 puzzles written by Frank Longo. That’s enough puzzles to keep you busy for a while.

“Master Sudoku” By: Carol Vorderman 320 Pages
An excellent read, international bestseller and Sudoku expert Carol Vorderman leads you step-by-step from easy through super-difficult Sudoku puzzles. She teaches you in simple logical steps how to solve Sudoku.
This book includes 50 Easy puzzles, 60 Medium puzzles, 50 Difficult puzzles, and 40 Super-Difficult Sudoku puzzles waiting for you to solve.

“New York Post Su Doku 1
The Official Utterly Addictive Number-Placing Puzzle” By Wayne Gould
Wayne Gould is the former Hong Kong judge that made Sudoku popular. His popular puzzles appear in many daily newspapers across the world under the Pappocom brand.
New York Post Sudoku 1: The Official Utterly Addictive Number-Placing Puzzle (New York Post Su Doku)
You wouldn’t find many Sudoku tips here. Just the one he calls slicing-and-dicing. (I call it scanning. See my article “How To Play Sudoku”.) for my illustrative explanation.
You will find 4 Easy, 26 Mild, 45 Difficult, and 25 Fiendish Sudoku puzzles. Answers are included.
The Fiendish puzzles in my opinion are somewhat more difficult than Carol Vorderman’s Super-Difficult in her Sudoku Puzzle Book “Master Sudoku”. Still, you can solve them using logic I cover in my “Sudoku tips” article.
My main disappointment is that the puzzle grids could be larger to allow for pencilling in cell candidates. Still, I recommend this book for its portability and great puzzles.
“Sudoku Elimination” By D Jay Ranger
This book was given to me for review. Sudoku Elimination
Just cross off the candidates as you solve the puzzle, and eventually, you will be left with the answer.
“Programming Sudoku” By Wei-Meng Lee 214 Pages
If you are thinking about creating your own Sudoku program, I would start with this book Programming Sudoku. Wei-Meng Lee shows you step by step how to create a Sudoku computer program in Visual Basic 2005.
