In that case I was only referring to how a Native English speaker would say it.

1) By normal rules it's Boots'
2) It's pronounced boots, not bootses by any Native English speaker, which is why (1) applies.
3) It's the author's written usage. It's bizarre to consider changing it.

You do not need an audio recording of the author for this or any other book to know the author's intent.
