About Us

Exclusive Distributor of The Karl Stone Art Collection

Our vision for TheGiftingBookStore.com is for this site to become your online marketplace for Art, Literary, Oratory, and Film Collections, and one-of-a-kind Jewelry. Sharif Enterprizes, Inc founded GBS.com in 1996. After two years of online services, sales, and program developments, we´re proud of the business model, services, and products that we can now offer to our members and customers.

We contract with artists, writers, film producers, and others to bring their collection of works to this central, convenient, and user-friendly location. We strive to keep GBS.com visually relaxing, easy to navigate, with 24/7 availability, and secure online purchasing. At GBS.com we believe that fine art, literature, music, and film are mediums that allow individuals, communities, and nations to bridge the gaps that too often divide and alienate us from one another. Oration (the Oratory Tradition) and Storytelling are also powerful mediums for conveying knowledge and ideas, and for enhancing human understanding. And when you have the opportunity to experience a collection of the works of an artist, you are able to develop a more comprehensive understanding of their own life and worldview.

TheGiftingBookStore.com features a collection of the works of one or more artist in each of our five main product categories (art, literature, oratory, film, and jewelry). The products are rotated or changed periodically, and many of our Fine Art products are signed and numbered Giclée Limited Editions. We´ve designed GBS.com with a Lounge or Preview Section where you can take your time browsing our selections without worrying about having an open shopping cart. Available items previewed in the Lounge Section can also be viewed in the Exchange Area. The Exchange or Checkout Section is where you make your secure online purchases. In the Exchange Section of GBS.com you´ll also fine a Members Only product area where we have special offers for our members. You can make purchases at GBS.com without becoming a member, but of course we hope that you will become a member of TheGiftingBookStore.com.

As a member of GBS.com you have the personal satisfaction of knowing that your purchases contribute to a greater good. TheGiftingBookStore.com donates ten percent of its net income to non-profit organizations that provide direct services to children and families in need. So you get great products, at reasonable cost, with convenient 24-hour access, and the opportunity to let your dollars reach into the lives of those less fortunate than you.
