Hi Valerie,
Since the hyphens don't leave the intention of the author unclear, I'd
suggest not changing what is in the book.
Just my opinion.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Question on readability presentation
I know occasionally allowances are made for slight changes to the print to
allow for better readability. I am doing a very old book where instead of
bolding words to be important/emphasized they are instead separating each
letter with a hyphen to make it more dramatic. An example in this book was
the word wonderful, which was instead represented as: "w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-1".
It would be wonderful (no pun intended) if we had permission to remove the
hyphens and unify the word and instead place it in bold print. Would this
be an allowable exception to improve readability/listening?
Thanks!
Valerie
