Gold Star Books was part of a multifaceted publishing empire usually identified under the umbrella<br />
name of Charlton Publications. By the 1960’s Charlton had grown to be a major operation, with its own<br />
printing presses and its own distributor, Capital Distributing, which is assumed to have distributed these<br />
paperbacks. Charlton was owned by Edward [Gordon] Levy (1898-1990) and John Santangelo, Sr. It is<br />
obvious, from comments below, that Ed Levy was directly involved in Gold Star Books, however, during<br />
this same time period, Santangelo was part of a joint venture responsible for another paperback<br />
imprint, see the separate Monarch Books index. It is not clear whether both men were involved with<br />
both imprints or whether they were each involved with only one of them, in which case Gold Star Books<br />
would have been principally Levy’s.<br />
Charlton was notorious for issuing random and ephemeral magazines, comic books and one-shots, all<br />
for the purpose of keeping their presses running. In an industry where many short-lived paperback<br />
imprints may be described as “squirrelly,” Gold Star is undoubtedly the squirrelliest. Besides the sleazy<br />
sex novels and sex-related nonfiction titles, which were also a mainstay of Monarch Books, Gold Star<br />
also featured a long string of British Hank Janson mysteries, reprints of turn-of-the-century dime novel<br />
westerns, and a short series of unauthorized Tarzan novels.<br />
The sex books were almost all produced by the husband and wife writing team of Peter and Peg Scott.<br />
Ed Levy was a major dime novel collector; the inclusion of the western reprints was probably a personal<br />
indulgence. Dime novel authority Edward Le Blanc was credited as “Consulting Editor for the series” but<br />
not as the editor of the specific volumes. The Hank Janson novels had a troubled history in Britain. The<br />
copyright holders of these reprints were G. Gold and D. Warburton, who were the then current<br />
publishers of the series in Britain; the copyright registrations gave Stephen D. Frances as the author of<br />
all the volumes, which is definitely not the case. Frances created the series and wrote most of the early<br />
volumes; the authorship of many of the later volumes is known and has been credited appropriately.<br />
The middle-period books were subject to several prosecutions and, to my knowledge, they have not<br />
been reliably attributed. The Tarzan series resulted in legal problems with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.<br />
that may have speeded the imprint’s demise.<br />
The 66 published books, numbered 11 to 76, were comprised of 17 reprints and 49 originals.<br />
Although the dime novels were all reprints they had not been previously paired up in these<br />
combinations, thus making the anthologies “original.” Besides the 17 Hank Janson novels, there were 5<br />
other suspense novels. There was one new western novel to accompany the 13 reprint anthologies.<br />
There were 5 Tarzan novels, which could be categorized as adventure and/or fantasy. There were 20<br />
sex books: 10 non-fiction, 9 novels and one anthology. There were 5 other non-fiction books.<br />
The first books were issued in November 1963 and they were issued in pairs through June 1964. From<br />
July to September 1964 they were issued in sets of four. If #45 was an anomaly, then issuance probably<br />
increased to six per month in October through December 1964. Output dropped to three per month for<br />
the following three months and became more sporadic through the rest of the year. Publication<br />
eventually ceased in December 1965, coincident with the cessation of Monarch Books. I have seen no<br />
evidence that any Gold Star Books had multiple printings.<br />

59 of the 66 covers are displayed in the Bookscans database. 58 covers are displayed as part of a web<br />
site devoted to Charlton Publications maintained by Ramon Schenk, which can be seen here:<br />
http://www.ramonschenk.nl/monarch/goldstar.htm. Between them, only # 62 has not been seen. Of<br />
those seen, only 9 were signed or credited. The western anthologies reprint the covers of old dime<br />
novel editions; to the best of my knowledge, those artists have not been attributed.<br />

Note 1: The attribution of individual books to Peter or Peg Scott is based on the copyright<br />
registrations; attributions from other sources disagree in some cases. It is possible that<br />
most or all of their books are actually collaborations and that the copyrights were assigned<br />
randomly to one or the other of them.<br />
Note 2: I have ignored the numbering on the dime novel reprints, since it makes no sense. The<br />
numbering begins with IL7-52, which is numbered 5, which is accurate as far as the<br />
Buffalo Bill reprints are concerned. However, all the books in both series were internumbered<br />
sequentially after that, ending with IL7-74, which is numbered 9, even<br />
though it is the seventh Buffalo Bill and the thirteenth overall.<br />

Note 3: Stories in the Denver Dan series appear under the bylines C. Little and “Noname,” as<br />
well as anonymous.<br />
Note 4: To avoid crowding and endless repetition, the citation is used in the list above<br />
to indicate that a Buffalo Bill or Young Wild West story appears in a book with the same<br />
title as the story itself.<br />
Note 5: I have not attempted to indicate the prior publications of the dime novel westerns,<br />
since they all have complex publishing histories, which have not been untangled in any<br />
reference work I’ve seen. Two of the Buffalo Bill’s originally appeared under the same<br />
titles, from Beadle & Adams, under Prentiss Ingraham’s byline and are so noted above.<br />
