Amazon Kindle now has the title "Let Yourself Be Led by the Immaculate", written by Maximilian Kolbe, translated from the polish by a Dominican brother. Most of his works are available in Polish and (in translation) in Russian... but sadly have not yet been translated into English extensively. I hope that after the canonization of Pope John Paul II, a renewed interest in this "Saint of the troubled 20th Century" will occurr, but it just hasn't happened yet. He is a truly remarkable man and a wonderful Saint for anyone to follow and learn from.
While not directly related to your quest for his writings, I wondered if you know about the National Shrine to Saint Maximilian Kolbe? Their contact email is: [email protected] and they also have phone numbers, but I have found that sending an email asking questions or for help is usually fruitful. If you send them a question, I am sure someone could help you out and direct you to the proper documents and whether or not they can be obtained in digital or written format.

The complete writings of St. Maximilian Mary are available in Italian. A good portion are also available in English. A three-volume paperback version was published years ago, probably in the '80s. I don't have anything on hand, but be assured, a good portion of his writing is out there--well worth reading. You can check with Academy of the Immaculate for a copy of his "Roman Conferences". (Go to Mary Mediatrix Website and navigate to the "book store".)

There's a newly released book: "She Shall Crush Thy Head: Selected Writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe". It contains a translation of some of St. Maximilian Kolbe's best writings. It can be purchased here.

This site appears to be down at the moment, but they claim, "There is no complete English edition of his writings at the present moment in one collected volumes. Hence, we offer our readers and missionaries the following materials that can be used as supplement for meditation, and/or instruction on Kolbe's Total consecration to the the Immaculate."

You've probably found something by now, but if not, St Maximilian's writings are available online, though mostly in Polish (I found a few articles in Latin) on the website of Niepokalanow (Mary's Town), the Franciscan community founded by St Maximilian near Warsaw, Poland) http://www.niepokalanow.pl/pisma From what I gather, there are 2 volumes published in paper version by the Franciscans of Niepokalanow, http://www.wydawnictwo.niepokalanow.pl/index.php?products=product&prod_id=17 (only 2 links are allowed here, so you'd have to look the other volume up yourself). Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate are possibly the best source of information on the subject of the availability of any in English. The writings definitely are a worthy reading, as St Maximilian was an extraordinary man, 'the Patron Saint of our difficult century', as Blessed John Paul II called him.
