Paul Pierce

Paul Pierce was an American writer born in 1866 who is chiefly remembered today for a small group of household and entertaining books published in the early 20th century. Library catalog records for works such as Suppers; Novel Suggestions for Social Occasions and Parties and Entertainments identify him as "Paul, 1866-", and Project Gutenberg also preserves several of his books.

His surviving works suggest a specialty in social hospitality rather than fiction or memoir. Titles including Breakfasts and Teas, Dinners and Luncheons, and Suppers show a clear interest in menu planning, presentation, and the customs of hosting, giving modern readers a glimpse of how formal home entertaining was imagined in that period.

Very little biographical detail appears to be readily available online beyond his authorship and birth year, so his books remain the clearest guide to his interests and reputation.
