Some of the books in The Bible are related to other books, while some are not. For example, Deuteronomy and the set of books now known as the Deuteronomic History (Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings and 2 Kings) were all written by the same anonymous author, now known as the Deuteronomist, and are therefore related. The Books of Chronicles are related to the Pentateuch and the Deuteronomic History, because they were intended to be a rewrite of the earlier books, with changes to suit the Priestly point of view.
In another instance, Ezra and Nehemiah are likely by the same author.
The four New Testament gospels are closely related, not just because they are gospels. Scholars have shown that the authors of Matthew and Luke relied on Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document for all their information about the life of Jesus and the sayings attributed to him. John was also inspired by Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. All the gospels were actually written anonymously and only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear later in the second century.
Five, and possibly seven of the Pauline epistles are regarded as genuine epistles by the Apostle Paul and are, of course related. These are Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine. Nevertheless they, along with Colossians, Ephesians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are related to the genuine epistles of Paul by virtue of their attribution to Paul.
1 Peter and 2 Peter seem related because of their common attribution. In fact, scholars say that they were written by two different and unknown authors. However, 2 Peter and Jude are closely related because 2 Peter incorporates almost all of Jude.

What is the collection of 73 books in the Bible called?
The Catholic Bible.
Does the bible state its the only book by god?
No, because the Bible is a collection of books inspired by God; the word bible is from the Greek word biblos, which means books. None of the books mention how many God planned to have written.
Why are some Bible books had in been drop out from the present Bible?
I think you refer to the Apocrypha, a collection of 10 or 11 books that were never accepted as Bible books in the first few centuries when the Bible books were chosen, though our Roman Catholic brethren accept them in their Bible. They were not chosen because they were sometimes contradictory to the general Bible doctrine.
Why are 2Kings and Isaiah 37 both in the Bible?
You have to understand that the bible is a collection of books, an anthology. There was no unifying attempt in the creation of the bible merely a uniting of all the books deemed holy. So if content was repeated in two or more books it remained repeated in the compilation. Much can be said for the book of Daniel and the Revelation of John.
What books are taken out of the Bible?
The books that form what is now known as the Bible were not originally written in order to be included in a 'Bible'. They were simply written to meet the religious or political purposes of their times. When, later, the concept of a collection of books, a 'Bible', came to the fore, some books were included and some were not.Until the first Bibles were compiled, there were no books in the Bible, to be taken out. It was merely a case of which of the many hundreds of potentially suitable books would be included, and which would not.Having said that, the Catholic Church included, and still includes, 15 'Deuterocanonical' books in its Old Testament. These were not included in the Hebrew Bible and, on the precedent of the Hebrew Bible, are not included in the Protestant Bible. Even the Catholic Church regards the Deuterocanonical books as not inspired in the same way as the canonical books are.
