I just released my new pdf book about Max for Live both in French and English versions named :
The Art of Max for Live / L'Art de Max for Live
As an early time Ableton Certified Trainer & Max Certified Trainer, I use Live & Max since the very early ages and still teaching/consulting for folks (studios, researchers, artists etc).
