There was apparently some discussion of the Grabhorns printing it for Sterling, but this booklet is not the work of the Grabhorns or any other readily identifiable San Francisco printer of the period. It was advertised in the August, 1926, Overland Monthly, as available, and Sterling is known to have inscribed two copies with August dates (BAL). Aside from minor contributions and periodical appearances, Strange Waters is Sterling&#8217;s final publication and one of his scarcest. When encountered, copies are almost always found with six corrections in the text in Sterling&#8217;s hand.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=George Sterling, Strange Waters\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Strange Waters, George Sterling&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=George Sterling, Strange Waters\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Poetry; Grier Rated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>1926<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Privately Printed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Notes<\/td>\n<td>Although it has neither date nor publisher. it was San Francisco, 1926.<\/p>\n<p>150 copies printed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>Great<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>12559<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>George Sterling | Strange Waters | A narrative poem that H.
