A Notebook Containing Rules For how To Live That Was Written By

A notebook containing rules for 'how to live' that was written by creator Ian Fleming has emerged 60 years on. 
The 007 creator filled his pocket notepad with ideas and observations while drafting his 11th Bond novel You Only Live Twice, which was published in 1962.
Among his list of 13 rules was a warning to 'beware of motorcars with two women in the front seat'. 
He took aim at the opposite sex in another instruction, warning: 'Don't waste your time on women who wear a bracelet on their left ankle.'
And one piece of advice that would not be out of place in a Bond novel reads: 'Don't draw your gun unless you see both the other man's hands.'
Others include 'beware people who smell' and 'tread carefully in the company of moustaches, side-burns and beards'.
The 39-page notebook, with writing in blue and black ink, is going under the hammer with Heritage Auctions, of Dallas, Texas.
It has been consigned by a private collector and is tipped to sell for £17,000.

($20,000).

The British writer also had no love for the country's ruling class as he wrote 'avoid people who call you Old Boy, and all politicians'.
