You can download the entire birthday book (over 200 pages) from this link. It has been redacted in places, mainly covering over the pictures and names of certain people, mainly young women, also for nudity.

There's nothing I could find that mentioned Trump, except the birthday letter from him.

Trump claims it's not his signature. It's only slightly different from his present day signature, because it has a tall L, but today he uses a lower L. But people are finding examples of contemporary signatures with the tall L.

You have to ask, why would anyone have forged it back in the day?

You wonder what Trump is worried about. All Epstein-related revelations so far pale into insignificance beside what we already knew: allegations of sexual misconduct towards them by at least 28 women; being recorded saying he could "grab women by the p.ssy"; and of course being found liable for sexual abuse in the civil case brought by E Jean Carroll. It is often alleged that Epstein might have created kompromat relating to those who accepted his hospitality, but so far nothing really compromising has emerged about anyone. We already knew all these people, Clinton etc, were happy to be his guest and be matey with him.

There was one page in the Epstein birthday book that interested me, from a rather different aspect. I have tended to suspect that Epstein hid a bit of Maxwell's money, and then made that available to Ghislaine. She was seemingly left with only what she had already been given, which wasn't enough to carry on living the life of a New York socialite. Which she nevertheless carried on doing. And indeed I recently learned that Maxwell was one of Epstein's clients. In the birthday book, we learn it goes back further. We have a note from someone who was working alongside Epstein on investments for rich people, before Epstein set up on his own. The writer mentions that he was working on the Maxwell account. He asks if that is when Epstein met a teenage Ghislaine. That would suggest that he knew that Epstein was working on that account too, and meeting the Maxwells. And maybe already knew Ghislaine from that earlier time, rather than the several months after her father's death that is generally reported.

Peak Trump.

In fact there is another page that mentions Trump. I did spot this page when I first went through it, but thought it of no interest. But that's because I didn't read the description carefully enough. It appears to be a photo to record Trump paying Epstein $22,500 for a "fully depreciated" girl. It isn't a real cheque, it's nothing like Trump's signature, it's undated, and he isn't in the photo. So I don't know if it was created as a joke or what. But one guesses something disreputable lies behind it.

It's not clear who wrote the handwritten description. Immediately following is a handwritten letter in a quite different hand. Immediately preceding is this delightful - and very much to the point - sketch. Clearly the artist knew just what went on. And that immediately follows a computer-created birthday card from "Joel". So maybe this sketch and then photo and description is all part of the contribution from "Joel", but it's not clear.

For further disgust value, it appears that the building drawn in the background on the massage part of the sketch is Mar-A-Lago.
