Product Description:
These puzzles offer more than just solving pleasure: they’re also works of art! That’s because every time you successfully complete a diagram, you also draw a picture. Along the top and left side of the grid are numbers that refer to the columns and rows: these are the keys to a code revealing which and how many squares to fill in. It just takes a little logic, concentration, and patience to figure it out—the process is a lot like sudoku, actually, where you work with numerical clues. But the result is something to show off, because out of the mix of black and white squares comes images of a bus, cat, pineapple, samurai, sphinx, and even James Dean!
Customer Reviews Average Rating:  Rating: - Ok but not impressed... I bought this book even though I'd tried several of these puzzles downloaded from the Internet and didn't particularly like them.Don't know what I was thinking.Unless it's just me, I found quite a few of these bigger puzzles impossible to solve without looking at the solution for a hint to continue.Many have too few marked spots out of plenty of blank spots and no way to resolve which to mark.I feel there are way too many large (35+) puzzles and the smaller ones are fairly ugly pictures. ...

Rating: - Well I have to be honest~This was actually too hard for me. What can I say. Excellent idea and I did try to do it but I have some visual difficulties that make my eyes jump around on grid like pages. These are rather small grids also.
I so wanted to say I loved it and I probably would if my eyes were better.
So if you have trouble with say reading small cross stitch patterns then you will have trouble with this. I can see smart teens just loving this and flying thru them in no time flat.Getting old is a bummer.
Rating: - Great Puzzle Fun!!! This is an excellent puzzle book!! I've enjoyed working through it for the past year. I just ordered a second copy to do it again. It's one of my favorite puzzles books!! It's a nice change from Sodoku and Kakuro. If you enjoy number or logic puzzles, this is a fun one. This is the best collection of advanced picture puzzles that I've found.
Rating: - Paint-doku This is just an ok book in my mind. The spiral binding and the paper are good quality, but the puzzles are in random order with no identification as to the difficulty. Also, a majority of the puzzles are made up of 80% blank space, which is disappointing to me when most of the puzzles are just x's.
Rating: - excellent!! I love doing paint sudoku!This spiral bound book with nice thick pages is so nice to handle.If you like doing logic puzzles and have never tried this type of puzzle, GIVE IT A TRY!!It's challenging but yet fun to see what the picture ends up to be.
