Good evening,
1. A student's book : a book belongs to a student; his or her book.
2. A student book : a book for students in general; it does not necessarily belong to a student
My question: Is it correct to say ' a students book', without the apostrophe, in the meaning of 2 above?
Thanks and regards,
Antoine Ghannoum
