True. I am surprised that anyone would copy my style and go back

Well, it depends. In a book on Sudoku, no solutions at all.
Perhaps a money back guarantee for if any items have no valid
solution. On chess puzzles, I would think at least some mechanism
to remove the temptations, perhaps an address to write to and pay
for a solution.
