Testimonials
“ACC Art Books commissioned Seki to author our book Ten Drinks That Changed the World. Armed with a brief that didn’t go much beyond a bold title, Seki took up the challenge with enthusiasm and skill. Seki’s writing for the project married personal insight with meticulous research, borne along by his naturally warm tone of voice. The result was an engaging text that worked beautifully in tandem with lino-cut prints by illustrator Tom Maryniak.”
