Moleskine manufacturer goes up for sale. . .

Modo & Modo, manufacturer of Moleskine notebooks, has put themselves up for sale, getting help from accounting giant KPMG. I'm a heavy user of Moleskines; hope this won't affect their quality. Jeff 32 Comments

Hah. I have this horrible linguistic affectation where I say "shed-ule" instead of "schked-u-uhl". I think I picked up from my high school English teacher of all people. This reminds me of a great Dorothy Parker story: "Dorothy Parker was at a party in New York where an American actor who had appeared in a play in London was speaking at length about his experiences. His speech was full of Briticisms, and he kept referring to his 'shedules.' Finally, Miss Parker interrupted. 'I think you're full of skit,' she said."
