Abraham Cotton was a bookseller in London and member of the Stationers' Company. He was apprenticed to Henry Kyrkham for seven years beginning at Christmas 1568, and took on his own apprentices in the 1580s. Cotton is documented as active in the London book trade between 1582 and 1585, with a book entry recorded in the Stationers' Registers in February 1584/5 for a ballad entitled 'A Warning to Witches'.
