Copiers (scribes) were very meticulous in their work, if one letter was off, the through that copy away and started over. The scribes believed they were working with sacred text. So it would be safe to say that we have a copy that is very close to that of the original (at least what is proved to be sacred enough to not get thrown away). These scrolls prove the accuracy of the transmition of the Bible, but have other books to which didn’t pass canon
Canonization is not a perfect task, for those who are performing it are not perfect. So we can assume that there are books out there that were un-rightly destroyed, and some stories left out that leave the current edition incomplete. Those who ultimately decided what would be sacred text were biblical scholars. They took into account many things that should have been taken into account. For example, they had to determine whether a prophetic voice was from God or not. It was necessary to establish which ones were reliable. It bothers me, however, when I think about what we are certainly missing when it comes to the great stories of the Bible.
