The Press of Atlantic City profiled the Paper Peddler, Avalon, N.J., which has been owned by the Cunningham family since its founding 43 years ago. The 14,000-sq.-ft. store sells books, magazines, newspapers, greeting cards and sundries.
Managed by Craig Cunningham, the Paper Peddler's "bibliophile" for the last 19 years has been Deborah Martinelli, a retired teacher. "I'm the nuts and bolts guy," Cunningham told the paper. "Deb is my book buyer, and she's always got four books she's reading at one time. People who know us come in and they'll ask what we like. Deb has a pretty big following of people who take her advice."
