Hello, teachers.

"This is how we do."
I think this is a gramatically correct sentence.
"how we do" means "the way we do", doesn't it?
Then if "How we do" is the title of a book, does it sound strange?
I don't think so, but some people who speak English said so.
What do you think?

Thank you in advance!

For a book title, I suggest, How to xxxxx works better. For example How to Knit; How to Ski; How to Play Chess, and so on.

Hello, asterix-san.
Thank you for your answer!
When the book is an essay and the author wants to show his attitude toward his job or his principles, "How I do" is still not good as the title of the book?

Regards,
