This book "on the 'telephone troubles' of the Old Order Mennonites and Amish holds interest in itself and also illuminates the process of change among these 'plain people, ' who are often thought to be entirely frozen in early religious or sociological molds. . . . (The book) is enlivened by illustrative anecdotes and excerpts from interviews, newspaper stories, and a diary" (Hubert R. Pellman, Eastern Mennonite University).
