What are the "other books" that talk about the Lamb?

 38 And it came to pass that I beheld the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the book of the Lamb of God, which had proceeded forth from the mouth of the Jew, that it came forth from the Gentiles unto the remnant of the seed of my brethren.
 39 And after it had come forth unto them I beheld other books, which came forth by the power of the Lamb, from the Gentiles unto them, unto the convincing of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, and also the Jews who were scattered upon all the face of the earth, that the records of the prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are true.
 40 And the angel spake unto me, saying: These last records, which thou hast seen among the Gentiles, shall establish the truth of the first, which are of the twelve apostles of the Lamb, and shall make known the plain and precious things which have been taken away from them; and shall make known to all kindreds, tongues, and people, that the Lamb of God is the Son of the Eternal Father, and the Savior of the world; and that all men must come unto him, or they cannot be saved. 1 Nephi 13:38-40

First a book of the Lamb comes from a Jew and it goes to the Gentiles who are the seed of the Nephi's brothers. (38)

Then other books come from the Lamb, from the Gentiles and Nephi's brothers, and also the Jews scattered every where which includes the records of the prophets and the twelve apostles and verifies them as true.

Then the last records (last meaning...recent?) will establish the truth of the first.

That's a lot of books.  Which do you trust?

So God wrote a book using prophets and apostles, led by the Holy Spirit and inspired by Jesus Christ, yet he allowed the church, time and corruption to contaminate that book?

Yet, he somehow managed to squeeze other books through the corruption, hiding them in the dirt on brass/gold plates in America, where the truth really exists?

If God needs to proclaim the truth with "other books" the Book of Mormon is saying he cannot keep the truth with the original book.  Why write "the book" when "other books" will be needed to verify its truth?

Can't God write one book that's true or does he need back-up?
