New H Bauer launch plans to cash in on Su doku puzzle craze

By Press Gazette

By Maxine Clayman

H Bauer has launched Su doku Selection, the UK’s first national
magazine dedicated to the new puzzle craze. The new monthly title
contains over 80 Su doku deductive puzzles of varying difficulties for
readers to pit their wits against.

Su doku originated in Japan and America and is now sweeping the UK.

Individuals
are challenged to fill in a grid of nine rows by nine rows so that
every row, column and box contains the numbers one to nine.

Edited by Dan Brown, the first printrun of 100,000 copies appears on newsstands today priced at £2.00.

Spike
Figgett, publishing director of Su doku Selection, said: “The country
is going mad for Su doku so it’s only natural with our strong track
record in producing puzzle magazines we’re ahead of the market by
picking up on this trend and are ready to launch a quality dedicated
title as the craze becomes mainstream.”
