A FAMILY bookshop has reopened its doors after an arson attack left them devastated six months ago.
Book Law, in Carlton Hill, invited music producer and author of two railway books Pete Waterman to welcome a host of customers back to the store at Saturday's relaunch, with 20,000 titles already back on the shelves.
David Allen, 74, who runs the shop with daughter Catherine Mather, 45, and wife Hazel Allen, 70, said: "We were absolutely gutted when we found the shop in such a state. I would have preferred them to take what they wanted without having to torch the place.
"But we can breathe a sigh of relief now, and it's great to see so many people in. Hopefully it keeps going like this."
