The API returns 10 (I presume up to 10) books by that author.

What is the criteria for which 10 books are returned?

Mostly curious.

It's a little complicated, but it's trying to return the most popular books, but the logic around primary and secondary authors makes that a little tricky.

I can imagine it would be tricky.
