Are the hyphens really necessary and what benefit or purpose do they
have? I find that when entering an ISBN into a search engine it works
a lot better to leave them out. Also, on occasion I have to memorize
an ISBN for a short time to fill it in somewherre and I memorize it
better if I ignore the hyphens and break the numbers in my mind into
groups of three.
