"Therefore the first, singular shop would have been Waterstone's Books (one Waterstone owning a bookshop), but now there is more than one shop, it would be Waterstones' Books (many bookshops)."
I'm not sure about that. If we assume that there is still only one Waterstone owning the bookshops and the books, it is still Tim (or Algernon, or Demetrius, or Horatio, or whatever) Waterstone's bookstones and books, yes?
