Epstein received the book when he celebrated his 50th birthday in 2003, three years before his sexual offenses against underage girls began to emerge.
On its 238 pages, there are greetings from relatives, friends, business contacts, and celebrities.
Many of them make allusions to the jubilarian's interest in women. Some are accompanied by obscene drawings and photos of Epstein, more or less dressed. Some are ordinary congratulations.
What he wanted
A greeting signed with the name of ex-president Bill Clinton praises Jeffrey Epstein's "childlike curiosity". Clinton had a well-documented friendship with Epstein, but has denied knowledge of his crimes.
Another greeting has been signed by Alan Dershowitz, one of the United States' most renowned lawyers. The UK's US ambassador, Lord Mandelson, was fired this week after it emerged that he sends greetings to his "best buddy" in the book.
"I wanted to give you what you want... So here it comes", it says in a greeting attributed to billionaire Leslie Wexner, who owns, among other things, the underwear chain Victoria's Secret. Next to it, he has drawn a pair of breasts.
"Some things in common"
On one page, a greeting in dialogue form has been signed with what appears to be Donald Trump's signature, and the text Donald J Trump.
In the staged dialogue, Donald and Jeffrey talk about how "there's more to life than having everything" and that the two have "some things in common". The text is framed by the contours of a woman's body.
"May every day become an even more fantastic secret", Donald concludes.
On another page, there is a photo where Epstein poses with a large fake check. According to a humorous caption, he has "sold" a woman to Trump.
"Jeffrey shows an early talent for money + women", it says.
President Trump denies having written in the book.
