There are several books that could have been in the bible but they were edited from the final King James version

The full 73 books of the Holy Bible, just as they were originally compiled by the bishops of the Catholic Church at the end of the 4th Century, without a single word changed, can be found in any Catholic bookstore. It is only Bibles published in the last few hundred years that include the omissions and additions of Luther. Fortunately they don't include all the omissions Luther intended. He planned on removing 3 New Testament books along with the 7 Old Testament books he did remove, but his followers wouldn't hear of it, and Luther finally backed down, leaving the New Testament intact.

They are still in many bible just not the King James Version. Catholic, Orthodox some copies of the Revised standard addtion look for anything that says with the apocrypha among the protestant bibles. Or just pick up a Catholic or Orthodox bible.
It is not that they could have been it is that they were and then removed.
Also there are many books written on various apocryphal writings never included in any versions of the bible.

The 'King James Version' is an English style (time period) of translation. It is available in Protestant and Catholic Bibles.
There are actually two terms you apparently may find useful, apocrypha and psuedo-apocipha.The apocrypha is the books accepted by the Catholic church (but not most Protestant churches), the psuedo-apocrypha typically accepted by neither group presently.

You mean what is called the Apocrypha. Those books are in the Roman and Orthodox Bibles. And, the disagreement about exaclty which books should be in the Bible, that is which scriptures should be canonized goes back to before the Council of Trent.

I have an idea, once you understand, obey and master all of the 66 books that are in the Bible then you can look for the other ones. Hows that

The only other version I'm thinking you mean is the Catholic bible. Maybe go to a Catholic site and check it out; or go to a Catholic church.
