For posessing a compound name you should first omit the original posesive suffix I/sI then add the new possessor suffix. So..
His history books = onun tarih kitapları. My history books = tarih kitaplarım. Your history books = tarih kitapla-rın/ınız. Our history books = tarih kitaplarımız.

No, because "yaşlı" is only used for living things, like people and animals. For non-living things, like books, you have to use "eski."
