Max dated this show as 12/71 based on the Christmas theme and booksignings on "Friday the 24th" Shep referenced 3 booksignings: 1) Friday the 24th at Bambergers in Wayne NJ from 1?3pm 2) Summit Book Store in Summit NJ from 4?6 3) "the other day" in Morristown (launches into story of book signing the other day at Morristown NJ about two oriental kids holding signs. One sign said 'Excelsior'; the other sign said 'You Fathead!') On the 12?18?71(31:40) Show he announces no more book signings before Christmas. There was a Morristown book signing in late September 1971 as confirmed by Dave Somers who wrote: "This was at a book signing that he did in Morristown, NJ in the month of September (I'm thinking the last two weeks of the month) in 1971 after the book came out."

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
