Dear community, I am looking for scientific literature on the history of Adobe InDesign and/or DTP that goes beyond the usual tutorial how-to-handbooks. Does anybody have recommendations? I very much appreciate it. Best wishes, N

Scientific literature is literature published in peer review journals, concerning original research. I can't imagine there is any scientific literature on InDesign. There may be some on DTP, but you probably want a history work, a secondary source drawing on anecdotal sources, rather than scientific literature.
