The small, plastic-bound 64-page book contains 386 individual printed entries with two handwritten entries penned on the last page. The majority of the entries also include contact information for private residences, aides, employees, parents, and even girlfriends, and many numbers have no names indicated at all.

94 of the names bear black checkmarks, and five have been highlighted in yellow. These five names, including that of former president Donald Trump, are those of well-recognized financial and industrial figures.

Edward Kennedy, and many dozens of other giants in the fields of finance, manufacturing, real estate, politics, film, television, law, fashion design, and so on.

According to the auction house, the book was offered for private sale and drew offers in the “area of $100,000″ but those offers were rejected.
