If you're gonna nitpick on spelling, get it right!
I did. I gave the title of the book as it is on the cover, not what some
manual on English says it should be. Then I explained why it's that way
on the cover.
The possessive form of "Lions" is "Lions's" because it's singular.
That's a matter of some debate. For example:

It's a living human language, therefore there are inconsistencies and
uncertainties. Deal with it. The title of this book, however, is not
uncertain.
