Bookplate of Libby Holman Reynolds, the torch singer who was married to, and was later embroiled in the murder of, an heir to the Reynolds tobacco fortune. Holman was the subject of a fascinating biography by Jon Bradshaw: *Dreams That Money Can Buy: The Tragic Life of Libby Holman.* An interesting association copy of Fitzgerald's novel of Jazz Age partygoers and the tragedies that engulf them.
