Sudoku Ranking Guide
Sudoku books should be ranked by the reader's patience and current skill, not by puzzle count alone. A perfect book feels challenging enough to keep, but not so hard that it gets abandoned.

Quick Answer
Rank Sudoku books by the solver's current skill before puzzle count. Easy books are best for new solvers, medium books are best for people building momentum, hard and high-volume books are best for daily solvers, and large-print Sudoku is best when readability is the deciding factor.

Helpful Answers
Beginners should start with easy Sudoku or an easy-to-hard large-print book so they can build confidence before moving to harder grids.
Medium Sudoku is a good gift for someone who already solves occasionally. For unknown skill levels, easy-to-hard or large-print books are safer.
High-volume Sudoku books are worth it for daily solvers because the cost per puzzle is low and the book lasts longer.
