I mainly got it for its coverage of QGD and QGA structures, but the first chapter is devoted to playing with doubled pawns and nimzo indian positions, and Im sure nimzo games are covered in the isolated and hanging pawn sections of the book as well.. Should I read something else first to get a better idea of the general ideas, or can I start with Winning Chess Middlegames? It depends on your level. I think the disussion in Winning Chess Middlegames is pitched at a relatively high level and assumes a certain degree of familiarity with the systems. So, if you are just starting on the Nimzo for the first time, you might consider something more basic. Everyman is about to release a Nimzo book by John Emms (scroll down a few threads). Maybe that's the one to start?

It only covers the Rubinstein structure. Obviously that's pretty fundamental to Nimzo play, but it's not going help you much with 4 Qc2 and so forth.
