Is the name of the book "A Beginners Guide to Visual Prolog" correct?

Is the name of the book "A Beginners Guide to Visual Prolog" might be considered to be correct, or an apostrophe is obligatory in this case, and it should be:
- "A Beginner's Guide to Visual Prolog"
or
- "A Beginners' Guide to Visual Prolog"?

Arguments can be put forth by the earnest for any of these, but I would suggest that the most common and unremarkable choice is A Beginner's Guide , which personalizes it for the reader.

Dear Mister Micawber,

Thank you for your quick answer. The book under the name

"A Beginners Guide to Visual Prolog"

has been already published at several Internet sites and has a lot of links to it.

What is your opinion: should we send the author feedback, in this case, and ask him to update the book name, or it is possible to leave the name AS IS?

It all depends on how much of a pain-in-the-**** you want to be. I myself couldn't care less; the internet is awash in infelicities.
