The lost books of the Bible : being all the Gospels, Epistles, and other pieces now extant attributed in the first four by William Hone
As a collection of ancient manuscripts, this is an excellent book. Reading many of them, you can certainly understand why they were left out of the orthodox Bible. A worthwhile read.
The apocryphal New Testament, being all the gospels, epistles, and other pieces now extant, attributed in the first four centuries to Jesus Christ, His Apostles, and their companions and not included in the New Testament by its compilers by William Hone
A good (but older and incomplete) collection of works that did not make it into the Bible. There are many newer works with more up-to-date introductions and more contemporary translations (and additional, more recently discovered books) that I would recommend over this. (Hone died in 1842). Depending on your interests [The Other Bible], [The Gnostic Bible], [The Nag Hammadi Library in English], [The Nag Hammadi Scriptures], or [The Complete Gospels] will serve you better.
(If you wish to read show more every scrap of literature that did not appear in the Bible then read [Old Testament Apocrypha], [Old Testament Pseudepigrapha], [New Testament Apocrypha] (2 vols.) by [[Schneemelcher]] supplemented by [The Tchacos Codex].)
Good for its time but there are more readable (and more complete) books than this one.

Good for reference Much of it is drivel but good for comparison
THE LOST BOOKS OF THE BIBLE: BEING THE GOSPELS, EPISTLES, AND OTHER PIECES NOW EXTANT ATTRIBUTED IN THE FIRST FOUR CENTU by William Hone
Despite the sensational title, this is a straightforward oldfashioned translation of
the NT apocrypha.
