DJ Ape .Net - The Home of Perfect Sudoku

Nearly a year after it had been made available at LuLu, volume 2 of my book “The Way of Samurai” is now also available on Amazon! This is thanks to CreateSpace, an Amazon company, who also publish print-on-demand books, but offer better conditions both for authors and for readers. Believe it or not, the book is actually cheaper on Amazon than it is on LuLu!

Unfortunately (there always is a “but”, isn’t it?) the book will only be available on the main Amazon International site and will not appear on individual country sites such as Amazon UK.

(for some reason the front cover image is still not showing on Amazon, but the book is there)

I will be publishing more books now using CreateSpace so you can expect to find them on Amazon, too.

It’s been nearly a year since I stopped updating the Flower and Samurai Sudoku sites. It wasn’t worthwhile running 3 different websites on the same subject, so I decided to move everything back to this, the main site.

Many of you were disappointed with that and I’ve decided to try to make you happy again.

I’ve prepared 105 Flower Sudoku puzzles in 7 different varieties and put them in a book called “Flower Sudoku: 5 in 1 Sudoku puzzles in different flavors“.

The book is available as an e-book (PDF) or a paperback and can already be purchased on lulu.com!.

US $5.95 or £3.28 or €4.79 (PDF e-book)

(payable by PayPal or credit card)

In this book you will find 15 of each of the following:
- Classic Flower Sudoku
- Diagonal Flower Sudoku
- Odd/Even Flower Sudoku
- Greater/Less Than Flower Sudoku
- Non-consecutive Flower Sudoku
- Consecutive Flower Sudoku
- Killer Flower Sudoku

Each variety is evenly split into standard EASY - COOL - THINKER - BRAIN - IQ difficulty levels .

There will be more and more e-books coming until the end of this year, but I don’t have the schedule yet.

Some of you have already asked for the volume 2 - hope you will now enjoy it!

So far you have been able to order my latest book with Killer Sudoku puzzles only from Lulu. (for more information, read here)

Now, this same book, Revenge of Killer Sudoku with 150 of my carefully selected Killer Sudoku puzzles is also available on Amazon.com!

It is with great pleasure that I announce that my puzzles will now be published in Norway too!

A weekly magazine called Ukeavisen Ledelse will start publishing my puzzles this Friday, October 12, 2007. They will print a variety of my puzzles, including vanilla Sudoku, Sudoku X and Jigsaw Sudoku.

About a year after my first Killer Sudoku book, I am ready to present you with a completely new book with my Killer Sudoku puzzles: Revenge of Killer Sudoku: 150 puzzles has been released!

(click on the cover page to go to lulu and buy!)

US $5.99 or £3.30 or €4.82 (PDF e-book)

(payable by PayPal or credit card)

You will only find puzzles (and solutions) in this book. No talk. But what kind of puzzles!
The book contains:
- 100 Killer Sudoku puzzles
- 10 Killer X puzzles
- 10 Killer Sudoku with diagonal cages
- 30 Zero Killer Sudoku puzzles

Puzzles in this book are aimed towards advanced (and expert) solvers:
- 10 Easy
- 10 Cool
- 30 Thinker
- 30 Brain
- 40 IQ (some of which are actually INSANE)
+ those 30 Zero Killers which are “Out of category”, but lets say they are “IQ” level

I know that some visitors were willing to participate and supply their puzzles for this book. I was interested in that too, but after I asked for some advice on this, it turned out that it would require too much paperwork (release of rights etc). Oh well, maybe some day.

I hope you will enjoy solving these puzzles during the coming holidays.

After more than a year since vol. 1 was published, it is time to publish a sequel of this successful puzzle-book: The Way of Samurai 2 has been released!
