Milligan's marginalia

BBC Online reports that a bunch of books once owned by comedian Spike Milligan are set to go on sale at Christie's. What makes the books, mostly Victorian and Edwardian children's books, uniquely valuable is that they are jammed with Milligan's comic marginalia. Bought for GBP30, they're expected to fetch at least ten thousand at auction. Prospective bidders can read the story here.
