The books are not owned by Tim Waterstone, who sold out ages ago; they are owned by a corporate entity called Waterstone's. There is no Waterstone who owns the books.
I'd bet money the corporate entity is not called merely "Waterstone's", so if you're going to be a prig in that way about the thing, then it should still be X's books, where X=full corporate entity name. So Watersone's Bookstores LLC's books, or whatever.
