The black book was found on a sidewalk on New York's Fifth Avenue in the mid-1990s by Denise Ondayko, a musician, who picked it up out of curiosity.
She put the book away and it wasn't until 2020 that she discovered that the book may contain links to Esptien.
Forensic experts later examined the book and confirmed that it belonged to the disgraced sex offender.
It was eventually taken to the Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland, which described the book as a “fascinating relic of criminal history.”
Bill Panagopulos, owner of Alexander Historical Auctions, shared The times: “This criminal relic undoubtedly has many stories to tell for those willing to dig.
“Jeffrey Epstein was the epitome of evil and this book must be preserved forever as evidence of his terrible crimes.”
Interestingly enough, the twisted billionaire had a second, more infamous black book from 2004 that was obtained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during a raid on his homes.
Like the one now being sold, it contained contact details of friends, including disgraced ones Prince AndreasDonald Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr.
One of the listings reportedly read: “The White House.”
The book was used as evidence during the federal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's ex-girlfriend who was found guilty of sex trafficking in 2021.
The older version of the black book, currently up for auction, names 349 people — at least 221 of whom were not named in the second version obtained by the FBI.
An investigation into the book conducted by Business Insider in 2021 reported mentions of several of Epstein's high-profile connections, including Melania Trump's best friend Suzanne Ircha (now Suzanne Johnson), ex-Playboy CEO Christie Hefner and billionaire activist Carl Icahn.
The publication said their reporting found no connection between people listed in the address book and Epstein's crimes.
Epstein is accused of grooming, assaulting and trafficking countless women and girls – some as young as 14 – on the island for his elite friends.
He was arrested in New Jersey in 2019 on sex trafficking charges.
Prosecutors said he “intentionally solicited minors, knew that many of his victims were actually under the age of 18” and that he would pay them to recruit MORE underage girls.
His indictment stated: “In this way, Epstein created an extensive network of underage victims whom he could sexually exploit.”
According to court papers, the girls would perform massages “nude or partially nude” before becoming “increasingly sexual in nature”.
He is accused of transporting the girls between his Manhattan mansion – believed to be the largest private residence in the city – and his home in Palm Beach.
He died in a cell awaiting a retrial in August 2019.
