Currently there are six titles listed under the grouping 'Records of the Grand Historian Han I". However, this is really only valid for the Burton Watson translation (paperback/hard cover). Of the remaining four, one is a short comic which deals with events prior to the Han dynasty (see subtitle); one deals only with the brief Qin dynasty (see Amazon description); one is probably a child's book in Chinese (only being 20 pages long); and the last is in Vietnamese, so I'm not quite certain of the contents.

Ideally, these would all be placed under one general umbrella of 'Records of the Grand Historian', but under the present system it seems like grouping the Watson translation with a short children's book isn't quite correct. Should each of the entries be separated into their own entries, or how would be the best way to proceed?
