other than combining the new_title statements,how do i refactor this code using Python3? please help:(

small_words = ('into', 'the', 'a', 'of', 'at', 'in', 'for', 'on')
def book_title(title):
    """ Takes a string and returns a title-case string.
    All words EXCEPT for small words are made title case
    unless the string starts with a preposition开发者_Go百科, in which
    case the word is correctly capitalized.

    >>> book_title('DIVE Into python')
    'Dive into Python'

    >>> book_title('the great gatsby')
    'The Great Gatsby'

    >>> book_title('the WORKS OF AleXANDer dumas')
    'The Works of Alexander Dumas'
    """
    lst_of_words = title.lower().split()
    num_of_words = len(lst_of_words)
    if num_of_words < 1:
        return ''
    new_title = lst_of_words.pop(0)
    new_title = new_title[0].upper() + new_title[1:]
