It is quite apparent that traditional publishing historically rejected the vast majority of the works submitted to them, and quality was not the main criterion. Given this it is quite inevitable that many good and worthy works were rejected. Asking for examples is simply an attempt to deny the obvious in these circumstances, given that the vast majority of these works will never come to light.
Good and worthy? I asked for "really good" books. I am talking about price winning books, and so on. Give me some titles of these really good books that was missed by traditional publishing.

The things is that even if a really good book is not right for every publisher so some publisher might turn it down it is the case that the editors will recognize a really good book and not miss it. And if it fits in there plans they will publish it.
