"Left out" is a loaded term. As if the Church had no right to decide which books IT wanted to use, and should have been forced to use whatever was extant at the time. It's ridiculous. There were thousands of books around at the time, some of which purported to be Christian. Why the church shouldn't have been allowed to pick out the ones it wanted to treat as "Scripture" and leave the rest, I'll never understand. Let alone why they should be "included" nowadays. Anybody can put a manuscript or translation of an apocryphal book into print if they can find somebody to print it (or do it via vanity press if they so choose). Elaine Pagels has done a bunch. It's not incumbent upon the church, or upon present-day bible presses, to do it for you.

O..O
