Sudoku Mania

I understand this was a used book but over half the puzzles were completed. I'm hoping the other one will not be the same. These were purchased for my son and he was happy to get it but was disappointed when he found out the puzzles were already done.

Yes, it is flawed, but this is a nice place to start

I must agree that this specific Sudoku puzzle book has some flawed puzzles. Some of the puzzles have alternate solutions. That should not be the case with a quality Sudoku puzzle. I learned how to play Sudoku from this Sudoku Mania book. This book helped me to graduate from a beginner to a fairly strong solver. The book also has little tips that have helped-- little things like walking away from a puzzle after getting stuck or giving a warning to not get frustrated if it seems your solving "mojo" suddenly leaves you after effortlessly solving a series of difficult puzzles. Again, this was my first Sudoku book to own. So, I'm a little biased. But the tips still stay with me, though. And the book has a range of easy puzzles to difficult. Great for first time learners, in my opinion. And I sort of liked the fact that I realized the flaws. That helped me realize that I really understood what I was doing. I was getting good enough to know that even the answers in the book were sometimes wrong. I took it as validation of my skill, more so than a flaw in the book. And for the record, most of the puzzles are good. Relative to the number of puzzles in the book, not that many have flawed alternate answers.
