Major John Roland Abbey (23 November 1894 – 24 December 1969) was an English book collector and High Sheriff. Abbey would become the largest English book collector of his time. His book collecting started in 1929 buying books from various private presses, eventually gaining complete collections of books from the Kelmscott, Ashendene and Gwasg Gregynog presses.
