Practical Chess Puzzles largely delivers what is promised. The authors say that they are writing for players from 1200-2200—quite a range!— and the puzzles in each section track from less to more complex… there is an overt effort to present lesser known, diverse examples, featuring North American players and a full range of position types. All this serves to keep solvers on their toes.
