Friday Puzzle #134 - The Art of Sudoku - Sample #1

[motris]

I'm hard at work putting together my first book of classic sudoku, which will also be my first self-published title through Grandmaster Puzzles. While it is easy to view this as just a test of my publishing pipeline since classic sudoku are easy puzzles to mass-produce, I've actually been spending the time to make absolutely beautiful and elegant puzzles. Here is the first teaser puzzle from the book which should be out this spring. It's also a good warm-up puzzle for those competing at the Silicon Valley Puzzle Fest next weekend.

Rules: Place a single digit from 1 to 9 into each cell so that no digit repeats in any row, column, or bold 3x3 region.
