The "manuscript" of a novel these days is probably a computer file. NFTs would allow you to trade the original manuscript as an item, even though the bits of that manuscript could be reproduced with 100% fidelity. For me, that doesn't carry a lot of value, but, then again, aside from things like margin notes and what not, a paper manuscript that was merely a handwritten copy of what later became a published book wouldn't carry a lot of value either. Yet, if I owned it, there may be people who would want to look at it out of curiosity, or who wanted to know the story of how I came by it, etc.
