When the canon of scripture was finalised (eg when the books to be accepted into The Bible were decided) the books were included based on their authenticity and reliability.
The Hebrew Bible was accepted in its entirety, but there were some books in the New Testament which were omitted.
In addition there were some other books whose providence was doubtful, and so in some Bibles these were included in scripture whereas in others the were not. Nowadays, in the Catholic Bibles, these books are included; in Protestant Bibles they are omitted, although in some Protestant Bibles the are included as a separate section known as the Apocrypha.
As far as the New Testament ws concerned, in the early Church there were many gospels in circuation including the Gospel of Thomas and Gospel of Mary. But these, and other documents, could not be verified as to their authenticity and were regarded as unreliable sources of Jesus' life and ministry. So they were omitted, the only gospel accounts being deemed worthy being the four accounts (plus Acts) that we have in the Bible at the moment.
Other books were also discussed - including the Didache (a small handbook for the new Christian) and Revelation - and these were books of doubtful origin. In the end, Revelation was accepted into the Bible as the last book of the New Testament but the Didache was not (although it is included in scripture by some Eastern Orthodox Churches).

Were any books of Moses omitted from the Bible?
As far as we know, Moses never even wrote any books. Certainly, it is true that the first five books of the Bible are traditionally attributed to him, but that attribution is no more than tradition. There is nothing in the five books themselves to suggest, directly or indirectly, that Moses had any part in writing them. There is a wealth of evidence in the same books, that Moses did not and could not have written them. Moses never wrote any books that we know of, so none has been omitted from the Bible.
