| Sudoku
has become synonymous with the word craze in the
USA, but the world has yet to see much of what puzzle-masters
from Japan have to offer. Higher Sudoku: New Variations
From Japan is the definitive edition of puzzles that
draws the curtains on a new generation of Sudoku –
a world teeming with cleverly layered teasers all custom-made
by hand and human mind.
Imagine finishing a Sudoku puzzle and getting a picture
of a cat, fireworks, or even a movie star, instead of a
box of numbers. That’s what happens when you finish
an O’Ekaki puzzle! Once you start filling in those
squares, you won’t be able to stop. It’s the
puzzle game millions of fans around the world can’t
get enough of.

"Tetsuya
Nishio is the undisputed grand ‘puzzle master’
of Sudoku: a bespectacled fiend from the darkest suburbs
of Tokyo who spends his every waking hour devising abominable
new ways to torture our brain cells. His only weapon is
logic, but, in his own words, ‘it is a knife that
kills.’ His commitment to deviousness is absolute."
