Pierre likes sharing his knowledge of the cinema. He has written two books: La Fabuleuse Histoire du Cinéma parlant (The Fabulous Story of Talking Pictures), 1982, and L'esprit du Cinéma Muet, (The Spirit of Silent Films), 2008.
Both are very well illustrated with original pictures from his collection.
