Ladybird series 731
How to do it
2 titles published between 1940 - 1980

This series was halted just after the first two titles were published. Woodwork and Metalwork were both moved to the Learnabout series 634 but it is the editions from series 731 that are considered to be the true first printings

On moving to series 634 the content for both these titles were left the same but the covers had a different design.Like with many of Ladybird titles, and as stated in their prefaces, these two books are designed to give instruction to both young and old beginners.

Random fact

Ladybird kept all the original illustrations produced by artists until the early 1970s when a change in legislation meant that they all had to be sent back to the original artists.
