Personal Paperback: Photographs by John Charley

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 to Saturday, September 20, 2025
A paperback book with orange and pink letter e's and the title "50 Poems"

**Extended to Saturday, September 20!**

A beloved paperback is a visual diary, every worn spot a memory of it being held, tucked into a bag, tossed onto the backseat of a car, or squeezed between other volumes on a shelf. Through Personal Paperback, Bisbee photographer John Charley explores books as objects, letting us see individual copies of paperbacks at larger-than-life scale to reveal the ties between individual people and the texts they love.
