After 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3, the best move for a Tango-player is 2...e6, with the idea of 3.c4 Nc6. For alternatives to 3.c4, I strongly recommend the repertoire book "Chess Openings for Black Explained" by Alburt, Dzindzichashvili and Perelshteyn, which also happens to cover White's other alternatives to 2.c4 and 2.Nf3. If I remember correctly, Glenn Flear gave it an excellent review in a Yearbook a couple of years ago.

I suppose that one major advantage of buying both Palliser's book and A/D/P's book is that you would be able to play 2...e6 as your main defence to 1.d4, and the Tango as a surprise weapon.

Well, OK then, what's your intention after 2.c4 Nc6 3.Nf3?  I suppose you could try 3...d6, in which case I guess the way to meet 2.Nf3 is with 2...d6!?

After 2...e6, 3.c4 Nc6 transposes to the Tango, surely?  You need to be prepared for other third moves, too, of course: 3.Bg5, 3.Bf4, 3.e3 and 3.g3 are the most obvious.
