This book is the best one I've read ever!!!

Where can I find directions on how to make Orson Bean's paper eucalyptus tree that he demonstrated on several talk shows (including, I think, the Tonight Show) in the late '50's??

It is a wild, woolly, farcical, slapstick, poetic-philosophical comedy, which deserves a reading, as the Irish accents can be largely non-understandable. The play had the feel of a classic, although it helps to know the times and the Irish reaction to it, historically.

If you are looking for charming, heart-felt, quirky tales of misadventure, Orson Bean's autobiography can surely pacify you. Bean is an amazing character that has the power to lift the spirit with his blantant charm and lust for life. His stories are outright wonderful. This is simply stated, honest book. A real gem.

This small, lucid little book describes Orson Bean's experience with Reichian Therapy. It is one of the few books that addresses the practical side of Wilhelm Reich's theories and the emphasis here is on the de-armoring of the individual rather than on the ORACS, as in most other writings about the Orgone. This book is full of usable and accurate information.

Orson Bean is a fine guide to introduce you to some of the ideas of Reich -- they obviously had a profound affect on his life, and this book chronicles his experiences with them. It is told in a frank, revealing manner, which is so very typical of Bean, making it seem like he's telling all this to a very dear friend. It's funny, frightening and highly thought-out. A very solid book.
