Carpenters Tour Books
The Carpenters toured the US and allover the world, from 1971 to 1976.  Pamphlets were produced to advertise the upcoming concerts, and tour books were sold at the venues as collectible items. They provided detailed descriptions of the performances, including the opening acts. They also featured photos and information on Karen and Richard, and the band. Often the proceeds from such books were donated to various charities. The following is from the Q&A section of  Carpenters Fan Club Newsletter #13 - May, 1972:-
Q: Is Karen National Youth Chairman of Cancer Society & what does she do for them?
A: Yes. It is an honorary title bestowed on her because she and Richard are both concerned with this horrible illness and have donated all proceeds from sales of their program book to the Cancer Society.

The following are some of the Carpenters Tour Books issued from 1971-1976.
