What about great books that would have affected history but unfortunately were never written. My favorites are Jesus's Memoirs of a Wayward Son and Mary's My Son, The Messiah!. I think it would have been devastating to Christianity if Newton had published Why I am Not a Christian. or if Clement VII had written the bull Maria Tudorensis et Isabella Tudorensis illegitimis sunt.
Suppose Plato's Homosexuality is Best for Priests and Sappho's Sisterhood is Potent: An Enchiridion had been available in paperback. Suppose Eratosthenes How to Print Greek Texts from Hand-Carved Wooden Plates had the sale it ought to have had or Ezra's expose: The Temple Law Hoax! had been able to afford a book-signing tour through the diaspora.
Finally, suppose Machiavelli's Discourses had the size and sale of the The Prince, or that the only copy of Marcus's To Himself had been published as How to Be Happy Though an Emperor in a cheap edition (with a faux suede cover, and a red rayon place marker).
