Booking gifts

Helen Exley gift books are available in Dubai to make a statement: "It is a gift that happens to be a book: Because books are forever", says Michael Illingworth, their export sales manager. Illingworth was in Dubai recently to promote his books which are currently distributed by Right Selection, located in Bur Dubai.

Helen Exley, the owner and founder of these little books that are specially designed to be given as gifts, made a humble beginning in 1976. Today they have come a long way and the company publishes 30 new titles each year in 30 different languages. "These small books are being recognised the world over for their quality and aesthetic value," says Illingworth. In 1997, the company received the Queen's award for export achievement in recognition of the quality of the books in the export market.

"These books have been designed in such a manner that they are able to convey messages that we sometimes are not able to convey ourselves," says Illingworth. A team of editors sources thousands of quotations to choose the very best selection for each title. A specialist team of picture researchers combs the world's galleries to select unusual and creative illustrations for the books.

Throughout the world people like to say "thank you", to the people they love. They like to remember birthdays, festive occasions, Christmas, the new year, Valentine's day, mother's day, wedding anniversaries, the birth of a new baby and similar occasions. Often they do not want to spend a lot of money but just show that they care and they remembered. These books are apt for occasions such as these, but they also provide something for art lovers, music lovers, sons, daughters, friends, mothers and fathers.

Ranging from "love quotations", and "words of wisdom" to a "round of golf jokes", Helen Exley gift books are suitable for all and can be picked up by mothers, fathers and grandparents alike.
With great care and commitment to quality and design, Helen Exley produces gifts that people will treasure and cherish.
They are available in all leading bookstores in Dubai.
