I’ve been a fan and avid user of Moleskine notebooks for many years. I’m going to need a new one soon and I haven’t been able to find them in the office supply and general department stores I’ve looked in. Today I decided to add one to my Amazon Wishlist and as I was doing so I wondered, not for the first time, “What is the correct pronunciation of the name?”

I’ve always heard and pronounced it myself as “Mole” (as in “bowl”) “Skin” (as in “spin”) but as you can see from the spelling of the name it has several other possibilities.

It turns out that question has been asked many times over and the maker of the notebooks has the answer here.
