{{main|Bibliography of Max Born}}
During his life, Born wrote several semi-popular and technical books. His volumes on topics like [[atomic physics]] and [[optics]] were very well received. They are considered classics in their fields, and are still in print. The following is a chronological listing of his major works:

*''Über das Thomson'sche Atommodell'' [[Habilitation|Habilitations-Vortrag]] (FAM, 1909) – The Habilitation was done at the University of Göttingen, on 23 October 1909.<ref>Greenspan, 2005, pp. 49, 51, and 353.</ref>
*{{cite book |title=''Die Relativitätstheorie Einsteins und ihre physikalischen Grundlagen''|url=https://gutenberg.beic.it/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=3936972|location=Berlin|publisher=Springer|language=de|year=1920}} – Based on Born's lectures at the University of Frankfurt am Main.<ref>Greenspan, 2005, p. 100.</ref>

The First World War delayed the start of work on this article, but it was taken up in 1919 and finished in 1922.  It was published as a revised edition under the title ''Atomic Theory of Solid States''.<ref>Greenspan, 2005, pp. 66, 110, and 115.</ref>

* ''Elementare Quantenmechanik (Zweiter Band der Vorlesungen über Atommechanik)'', with Pascual Jordan. (Springer, 1930) – This was the first volume of what was intended as a two-volume work. This volume was limited to the work Born did with Jordan on matrix mechanics.  The second volume was to deal with Erwin Schrödinger's wave mechanics.  However, the second volume was not even started by Born, as he believed his friend and colleague Hermann Weyl had written it before he could do so.<ref>Greenspan, 2005, pp.&nbsp;159–160.</ref><ref>Jungnickel, Volume 2, 1990, p. 378.</ref>
*''Optik: Ein Lehrbuch der elektromagnetische Lichttheorie'' (Springer, 1933) – The book was released just as the Borns were emigrating to England.

J. Blin-Stoyle & J. M. Radcliffe.  The 8th edition of ''Atomic Physics'' is available from Dover Publications in paper cover, {{ISBN|0-486-65984-4}}.</ref>
*''The Restless Universe''<ref>''The Restless Universe'' was last published by Dover Publications, 1951, {{ISBN|0-486-20412-X}}, but it is no longer in print.</ref> (Blackie and Son Limited, 1935) – A popularised rendition of the workshop of nature, translated by [[Winifred Margaret Deans]]. Born's nephew, [[Otto Königsberger]], whose successful career as an architect in Berlin was brought to an end when the Nazis took over, was temporarily brought to England to illustrate the book.<ref name="Greenspan, 2005, p. 201"/>
*''Experiment and Theory in Physics'' (Cambridge University Press, 1943) – The address given King's College, [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], at the request of the Durham Philosophical Society and the Pure Science Society.

(Pergamon, 1959) – This book is not an English translation of ''Optik'', but rather a substantially new book. Shortly after World War II, a number of scientists suggested that Born update and translate his work into English.  Since there had been many advances in optics in the intervening years, updating was warranted. In 1951, Wolf began as Born's private assistant on the book; it was eventually published in 1959 by [[Robert Maxwell]]'s Pergamon Press.<ref>[[Paul Rosbaud]], a former editor at Springer who remained in Germany during World War II and spied for the allies, was initially involved with Born and the endeavor to publish ''Optik'' in English, as Rosbaud was organizing a publishing company in England after the war.  The publishing company did not materialize, and Rosbaud eventually joined Pergamon Press. (Greenspan, 2005, pp.&nbsp;292–294.)</ref> – the delay being due to the lengthy time needed  "to resolve all the financial and publishing tricks created by Maxwell."<ref>Greenspan, 2005, pp. 174, 292–294.</ref>
