Where to buy Sudoku books?

You can buy Sudoku books from local bookstores, newsstands, major online booksellers, and specialist puzzle publishers. Check the stated difficulty range, grid size, binding, answer section, and number of puzzles before choosing a book.

Places to look

• Local bookstores and newsstands, where you can inspect the grid size and binding before buying.
• Library book sales and used-book stores for inexpensive puzzle collections with unused pages.
• Nikoli's specialist book shop, which sells Sudoku and other pencil-puzzle books and publishes current international shipping notes.
• Nikoli Publishing's English-language catalog at Hachette, which links to books for different difficulty levels.

Choose a book you will actually use

For travel, a compact book is convenient but may leave little room for candidates. For home use, look for larger grids or spiral binding that stays flat. Beginners benefit from a gradual difficulty curve and answers in the back; experienced solvers should look for a clearly defined hard or expert range rather than relying on clue count alone.
