[DCRM-L] [RBC201706] Holograph vs. Handwritten

Hello, everyone,

A small question. I have a four-page typescript manuscript with
corrections. I was going to call the corrections "handwritten" in my bib
record, but the bookseller's notice calls them "holograph corrections." Is
that the more common term? Merriam Webster defines holograph as "a document
wholly in the handwriting of its author."

Thank you,
Joan
