Exegesis
The plural books {βιβλία} signifies collective records, while the singular allo biblion {ἄλλο βιβλίον | ál-lo bi-blí-on} identifies the unique volume ho estin tēs zōēs {ὅ ἐστιν τῆς ζωῆς | hó é-stin tês zō-ês} as the book of life.
In context — Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne , and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life ; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their deeds.
