This series of how-to books for children was first printed in the United Kingdom, but they were also printed and sold elsewhere. I think that the original British editions were call the KnowHow books, so all of the British titles start with “The KnowHow Book of …” Because the alternate titles for some books are very different between the British KnowHow editions and the American FunCraft editions, I’m not completely certain whether all of the KnowHow books were published as FunCraft books or not. Because I have the American editions of the books, I’ve decided to focus on the FunCraft titles.

The books were written by different authors and cover a range of hobbies and crafts. Some of them are available to borrow and read for free online through Internet Archive.
