"If information highways are the wave of the future then I will build information country roads on which the traveller can reach the truth faster by going slower. . . ." On these same country roads, far from the intrusions of modern technology, the Amish, Quakers, and other "plain folk" live their unencumbered lives, close to the land, in peaceful, smoothly-run communities. The thought-provoking, often challenging essays in The Plain Reader are written by men and women who rarely speak outside the borders of their local townships, and provide us with unique perspectives on life stripped down to necessity. Originally published in Plain Magazine, these pieces are sure to inspire reflection. Reading about a garden cooperative in Connecticut, the raising of a home with only plaster and straw in hand, a fascinating trip to New York City through Amish eyes, compels each of us wonder: Can I too survive without television or that high-tech appliance cluttering my kitchen counter? Am I just a cog in the wheel of the global economy? Is isolation from one another and from the earth the simple destiny of humankind? Each rich, personal essay in this provocative collection offers solace, wisdom, joy, and quiet space for contemplation.Binding Type: Paperback

Good seat COVER, but not a seat cushion
Color: Grey, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
First, it would be very helpful if the description/information did not use the word "cushion" as this implies some sort of padding in addition to the cover. The cover has a layered backing but there is no cushioning or padding like material. That said, it is a very nice sheepskin cover. It was well packed and the sheepskin material itself is soft. It is a good size and nice to sit on. However, I will return as I need some actual padding to make my very firm car seat more comfortable. My rating would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Nice comfort and warm seat cover
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushion-1 Pc
Used when traveled to Florida and back (3,000+ miles). Nice comfort and fit onto my Honda CRV seat good. It has straps and clips to hold it in place and rubber backing to keep it from moving around. In the winter it warms you up quickly, added bonus not expected. The quality is good, not problems with piling, or coming apart.

It’s great quality in terms of the fur, but the non-slip aspect lacks.
Color: Pearl, Size: Front Seat Cushions-2 Pcs
I wanted this not to provide extra cushion - although it does. I got this more to protect my seats in my sedan because they are tan in color and a suede-type material. So my jeans would bleed blue or black pants ect… would cause problems.
It works perfectly for the purpose I wanted it for. I no longer damage my seats, and it does not appear that my pants colors bleed into the sheepskin either. Or at least it’s so minimal I have not noticed. I even spilled a bit of water by accident, and it came off very easily too so that’s a bonus.
It’s lacking in the non-slip department. I understand the bottom is designed to be non-slip, and I do utilize the clips that attatched into the seat (the clips just slide out). Despite this is slips often. It’s not a deal breaker, but it was very disappointing. It’s frustrating to re-adjust. The gripping material underneath is not super textured like I thought. The clips not working as indented is also annoying. They don’t provide any gripping it just comes out no matter how hard I push inward.
Also, the color I bought is slightly different from what I received. I know colors vary from photo to life, but it seemed like the color was just off a tad. It was supposed to be a lighter beige according to the photo, but it’s darker. Not a deal-breaker again, but something to consider. It was close enough for me.
Overall still a good purchase, but depending on why you are buying these things may stand out to you.
