Another reminder that these links are the address book, they're blocking the release of the client list. The address book includes hotels, flowers, etc. Some of the victims of trafficking are also included.

A searchable web-based format version which allows for easily searching names, pulls up the number of given contact details, and the page itself.
Serious question:
This appears to be a scan of a printed book. Why would anyone make a hard copy of this sort of document? If you wanted to add an entry you'd have to reprint the entire thing.
It probably was an active document started as early as the 1970s and that's just a way to do it. Had to be paper they didn't have anything else. Take note cards, write (Or typewrite, or print) the info on them, paste them into a book. Remove old cards as they need to be updated. Easier to package vs a rolodex. Even into the 2000s, old habits die hard and it is easier to maintain security of a single physical copy.
Yeah, I wasn't giving enough credit to how far back this goes. I think this version was supposed to be scanned in 2005, so I was thinking of it as a 2005 document.
I remember how frustrating it was for my dad to maintain a list of contact info. He had many different versions and they all had different information and different omissions.
I was only a kid so I didn't understand how big a deal it was, but I distinctly remember "mail merge" being advertised as a 'killer feature' of word processing software back in the early '90s.
Funny enough I have a pretty advanced typewriter with many word processor functions from the 90s. It has mail merge, believe it or not. I found it in front of someone's house on large trash day and bought new ribbons for it.
Only thing I couldn't get to work is the floppy drive, but it is super neat watching it print out what I've typed on the tiny screen into two columns.
It was literally Epstein's physical contact list, his literal, little black book of compiled contacts, his own personal phone book.
Back before the widespresd proliferation of personal computers... it was pretty common for high powered business types to have such a thing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolodex
It was quite common for such people to have something like this, a rolodex, to the point where even still today, older corpos will use the term 'rolodex' sort of as jargon, not necessarily meaning a literal rolodex, but if someone is 'in your rolodex', that means they are in your personal, private contact list.
Then, as now, very high level business is entirely about who you know and who you can network and cooperative (cough, collude) with.
But uh yeah, its just an old school method of keeping your contacts. You can even see this in the history of ... I think the word is skeuomorphy, skeuomorphisms?
What symbols we use to represent what kind of functions in user interfaces. Etymology for UI symbols, kind of.
For quite a while the 'save' function was... a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk. But this is now totally ananchronistic, so its started to change.
Likewise, a 'contacts list' was, and often still is a symbol evocative of a small, pocket sized little note book.
Something like this:

You gotta remember Epstein was doing this shit since the 70s/80s.
Like I dunno, go play Vice City and notice how big a deal it is that a character even has a car phone, or even a cordless phone in their office or w/e... notice how nearly no one uses a computer, of any kind, for anything.
Hell, even myself, as a kid in the 90s, I had something like this for all my friend's phone numbers and local stores and libraries and shit, before smart phones were invented... though I just wrote them all in with a pencil.
(back in my day we had to actually remember phone numbers! and that cloud over there is looking at me funny!
Wow, I guess I put a quarter in you!
Thanks for the thorough response.
I got thoroughly wrecked in what was functionally a car jacking, my full time job is now PT.
So I just kind of sit around, and... know things?
Treat lemmy like I'm at trivia night at a bar?
I dunno lol.
Sounds like someone could pay a secretary to update and maintain such a thing.
Jean, can you get the numbers for the Fisher account into my contacts list, print it out over the weekend?
I'd do it myself but I....have to return some video tapes.
Thanks Jean.
Hey, by the way, great jacket.
;-)
You want to pay a secretary to update your child abuse/rape victims and their abusers/rapists? This was probably never let out of his sight.
My guess would be that Ghislaine was the literal 'secretary' who put it together and got it printed.
... given that this document comes from, you know, her trial, lol.
A redacted version was originally publically released as part of the case ... but later, someone, probably someone connected to the proceedings of the case, leaked the unredacted version, the entire scan of the whole book.
Also WTF, another one of Epstein's actual, literal contact books was/is apparently recently up for auction?!

Goddamnit this thing is like a fucking black market archaeological artefact.
She found it? Crazy.
Christopher Helali bought one of the convicted pedophile’s infamous address books for $425 off eBay in 2020, from a woman who’d found it on a Manhattan sidewalk more than two decades ago
It also had a lot more names?
The book, dated October 1997 in a handwritten note, contains names, addresses and phone numbers of 349 people — 221 of whom were not named in a later, more infamous little black book Epstein kept, and which was seized by the FBI to investigate the disgraced financier’s sex crimes.
And here is a searchable database of all of the names with photos:

So as best I can tell this is a different... uh, edition, so to speak, of Epstein's contact book.
But yeah, thats the whole problem, how do you actually, certainly prove its genuine?
Could be a well done fake.
Hence my black market artefact analogy.
...
Like uh, the Nag Hammadi library... that was apparently found in the 1940s/50s by some kids cave spelunking, bounced around the ME archaeology black market for decades, at one point got bought by some wealthy dude, stayed in a safety deposit box in NYC or something for a decade...
... and then actually got handed off to a real university or museum team, who promptly shit their pants, suspecting it to be genuine, then properly reassembled it from being mostly disintegrated, testesd the material and writing and language style and confirmed it is actually genuine... and then preserved in a proper vessel/environment...
And that is how we know about something like 1/3 of the contents of early / heretical / 'gnostic' Christian writings and beliefs.
... Shit like that is why Indiana Jones says 'It belongs in a museum!'
In addition to the printimg, It's full of handwritten parts, like the circling.
It's not that it couldn't be maintained, I just can't see why anyone would want to.
why does it have Citrix upside down on it?
It's being used as a place holder (tab).
UPS went to Epstein Island too!!
They fucked up my packages and kids lives!
