Gold Star Publications was a British magazine publisher co-owned by David Gold with his brother Ralph.[1] It included printing and distribution businesses, and a stable of titles including Rustler and Raider.
The business was formed in 1972 when Gold and David Sullivan merged their publishing interests.[2][3]
The Gold brothers sold their interests in November 2006.[4] In 2007, the brothers also sold their share in Sport Newspapers.[5]
