'Book Market' is the correct definition for a market where books are sold. It could be one certain book's market, however a market is not commonly in possession of one book, so no. Same with 'Pirate Bay' (that is the correct definition), it could be a bay that is in possession of pirates, and in that case it would be "Pirates' Bay" with an apostrophe at the end of pirates (plural possession), but as a name it would always be 'Pirate Bay'. |
