Small correction. The lends are estimated, a number of libraries count the lends from their collection and the total is extrapolated nationwide. It could be the author gets nothing if all the lends are from non counting libraries. In addition there is a maximum payment, not sure what it is now but is used to be 10k gbp. Catherine Cooksen for example always gets a maximum.
