Although it's a guidebook derived from experiences focused on Havana, dancer Chen Lizra's attractively packaged My Seductive Cuba (Latidos / Red Tuque $26.95) is an excellent introduction to Cuban manners in general. 'Cuba is the kind of place that inspires you to re-think your life,' says the Israel-raised Vancouverite. She has been visiting and dancing in Cuba since 2005. www.chenlizra.com.
