Gligoric has (as you may already know) five pages (based on two games) on the variation in his classic Play the Nimzo-Indian Defence, 1985. That's the most I can find in my library (+ NCO and some old commented games). But that means on the positive site that you are really offbeat!
theory on the taimanov variation of the nimzo-indian?

Nimzo-Indian: 4 e3 - Nimzowitsch, Hubner and Taimanov Variations Hardcover – 1 Mar. 1980
by Craig Pritchett (Author)
"Tango" by Richard Palliser but it only covers the position that can arrise from d4 Nf6 c4 e6 Nc3 Bb4 Nf3 Nc6 e3 since the book is about 2 .. Nc6 in the first place. It can however be used for Nimzo players since he covers the Zurich variation (Qc2 Nc6) and other Nf3 Nc6 Nimzo lines.

I have been looking for something a bit offbeat vs the reshevsky variation of the Nimzo-indian. after 5.ne2 d5 is not my cup of tea and while the st petersburg variation with b6 looks alright, i already play lots of b6 lines in other defences so i want more variety. I stumbled into this
The taimanov variation. I already play zurich variation vs qc2 so im somewhat familiar with ideas that aim for a dark square pawn complex, but does anyone know any book or course that covers this variation?
Considering Bishop B4 is a move my father would have played (Since me and him play a lot and I realize he usually thinks the exchange bishop for knight is good all the time for some reason) I would advise if there are say no good courses say on Chessreps, Chesstempo (Or books) etc. At that point I would go into analysis and crank out a good 30 minute to hour study alone on this opening and its variations with a physical board, this I have found has helped me in my own openings/ideas when I go to play games in the future! highly recommended if you want to get familiar with a certain opening and ALL the possibilities!! Best of luck to you brotha!

I bring up my father due to the fact that since he did usually get me with that exchange, I ended up using this method and now 8/10 times I usually beat him now along with having some good and bad games with my setup! Figured id state this since I didn't make it clear originally lol
4...Nc6 is part of THIS course, but since I don't own it I cannot say much about the quality of the analysis.
