 Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis - The Region - The Federal Reserve's Beige Book: A better mirror than crystal ball ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Briefly, the Beige Book is a largely anecdotal compilation of economic reports from each Federal Reserve district, from which a national summary is then drawn, and which is submitted to the Federal Reserve Board and released to the public two weeks prior to FOMC meetings, or eight times a year.
Consequently—because the Beige Book does not improve upon private sector forecasts, and because the FOMC looks at an array of forecasts and national indicators, and Board staff generates its own forecasts—the Beige Book is not a good indicator of the future course of monetary policy.
Therefore, while the Beige Book does have some predictive power, the media and Fed watchers would do well to put aside the Beige Book and focus on private sector forecasts in their attempts to predict monetary policy.

Beige boxes can be usually constructed with easily available materials, such as a simple corded telephone, a soldering iron, and a pair of alligator clips.
Although it is generally not illegal to possess or construct a beige box, it is illegal to use them to make unauthorized use of a phone line, because this violates wiretapping laws and the user is tampering with telephone company equipment.
Instructions for constructing a beige box can be found in many places on the internet, as well as instructions on to make other phreaking boxes.

When the error was corrected and replaced with a standard white index, beige was the result, Glazebrook said.

By concentrating distribution of The Guide to freshmen, the authors and contributors are in essence proclaiming, "If you haven’t found a personality, here’s one." To think, we could all have a new worldview thanks to this "little beige book" of dos and don’ts.
