Ian Fleming's books are a real textbook. And not just for a spy. The novel "Diamonds Forever" will be useful for those who have long dreamed of understanding the precious stone, as well as those who are looking for new ways to cross the border with undeclared things, and of course all fans of horse racing. And yet - after reading this book you can safely go to Nevada and finally play for real (a guide to Las Vegas gambling establishments is attached). Everything else - naked girls, fast cars / trains / ships / planes / trolleys, mud baths and Bearnaise sauce - is nothing more than an entourage created to distract the reader from his main task - "Learn, Learn and Learn Again". Learn to play and win. To win in any situation - whether hanging out on a sheet overboard an ocean liner, like a fly on Velcro, or dying in a stinking bath with bark, sorrow, healing manure, or crunching scorpion boots in Equatorial Africa. It is immediately obvious that Bond studied well. That's why he always wins. Learn, my friends, because Bond - James Bond - is a worthy example to follow, a talent. And, as you know, you can't drink it - at least mix it up, at least mix it up.
