Marginalia is the general term for notes, scribbles, doodles and editorial comments made in the margin of a book. Marginalia can add or detract from the value of a book, depending on the book and the author of the marginalia. Marginalia in a Winston Churchill book by Tony Blair, for example, would add value; a student's notes in the margin of a Penguin edition of Oliver Twist would generally not.
