{"title":"Expert Sudoku Puzzle Books","description":"\u003cp\u003eExpert sudoku puzzle books for people who finish the newspaper grid before the kettle boils. Analog Society publishes two: \u003cem\u003eExpert Sudoku — 200 Hard Puzzles\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eExpert Sudoku — 300 Hard Puzzles\u003c\/em\u003e. Every puzzle has a page of its own, and there is one large grid on each 8.5 x 11 page, so there is room to pencil in candidates without squinting or cramping your notes. Full solutions sit at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are for experienced solvers, and for anyone buying for one: the parent who has worn out every free puzzle app, the retiree who wants a proper challenge at the kitchen table, the commuter who would rather think than scroll. A sudoku on paper is half an hour with no notifications, and a finished book is proof of it. Each copy is printed to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all-books\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eAll books\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-dad\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for Dad\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-grandparents\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for grandparents\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-mum\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for Mum\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth books open with a short page on the rules and how to approach a hard grid, then go straight to the puzzles. One puzzle per page, numbered and labelled, with one large grid to the page. There is no filler between them: no quotes, no colouring pages, no easy warm-ups. The solutions are printed at the back, several to a page, so you can check one answer without spoiling the next puzzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e200 Hard Puzzles\u003c\/em\u003e runs to 262 pages. \u003cem\u003e300 Hard Puzzles\u003c\/em\u003e runs to 388 pages.

A father or grandfather who does the hard sudoku every morning and has run out. A mother who has finished the phone app and wants the puzzles on paper again. Someone recovering at home who wants a task that takes real attention and does not involve a screen. A book that sits on the kitchen table, beside the chair, or in a bag for the train is an easier gift to give than an app subscription, and when it is done it is finished, not deleted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey suit a solver who already knows the basic techniques. If the person you are buying for is new to sudoku, these will be too hard; start them on an easier book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the books are made\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery copy is printed to order and sent from the printer, not from a warehouse shelf. Our shipping policy says it plainly: “Shipping is free on every order, within Australia and internationally. There is no minimum order value. Everything we sell is made to order.” Because each book is printed for its buyer, there are no returns for change of mind; if a copy arrives damaged or misprinted, email within 30 days of delivery with photos and, where applicable, we will arrange a replacement or refund at no cost to you.

Each puzzle has a page of its own, with one grid about 14 to 14.6 cm (5.5 to 5.75 inches) square and the given numbers printed large, so there is room to write candidate numbers in the cells.
