Also, for what it's worth, title: And the Mountains Echoed (Hosseini, 
Khaled) gives 9781611761801, 1611761808 and 2013626634 -- but not 
159463176X [oth, 9781594631764 is good, as you say, without the hyphens.]

Our cataloguers tell me that LoC are "seriously not using ISBN-10" for new 
publications, *and* that "pre-publication" ISBNs can be most misleading -- 
publishers often count on them, use them, and then get a different "final" 
ISBN.
