Summary/Abstract: The study deals with notes (“peritext”) in fiction as a source of additional information. The focus is put not only on their location, extent and the form in which they appear in the book, but it also focuses on their typology, based on the concept of Gérard Genette and Daniela Hodrová. Variations and variabilities of these notes in books published throughout the 20th century by Czech publishers are examined in thirty books. This selection can be considered as a sample of ways of publishing at the end of the millennium in the Czech Republic. At the end of the study the author suggests a schematic model of various layers of notes and their proportions in the book.
