Why read it?

1 author picked Trustee from the Toolroom as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

For me, the most wonderful aspect of this book is the beautiful exposure of an unassuming hero to a world completely beyond his imagination. And yet, as the story unfolds, I love how Keith Stewart grows with it.

The hurdles he faces always seem insurmountable, yet his hidden talents come to the fore, and he succeeds where many others would have failed. It taps into that part of me that would like to think that I, too, could rise to a challenge.
