Albert Henry Spencer (8 March 1886 – 20 February 1971), often referred to as A. H. Spencer, was an Australian bookseller. He was a specialist in antiquarian bookselling and Australiana and established the Hill of Content bookshop in Melbourne, one of that city's "finest bookshops".[1] He has been called "one of the last links with an heroic age of Australian bookselling and collecting".[2]
