Mary Hyde Eccles showcases the writings of a notable American female collector, scholar, and author. As an active member of the Grolier Club, Mary Eccles represented the best the Club had to offer. Eccles was an exhibition curator, a contributor to the Gazette, and a generous donor to the Club. This book presents a selection of Eccles writings, both published and unpublished, which represent her career. Beginning in 1946 and ending in 2001, the book provides a chronology of her life and works. A note from Carolyn L. Smith, a foreword by Kenneth Auchincloss, a list of illustrations, and an index of names are included. Containing black and white illustrations, the book was designed by Jerry Kelly and printed at the Studley Press.

The Minimum Wage Study Commission was established in 1977 to aid Congress in investigating the effects and possible consequences of two proposed changes in the minimum wage law: indexing the wage to inflation and providing for a youth differential. This paper seeks to determine to what extent the Minimum Wage Study Commission's work has been helpful in policy debate, and compares the Commission's findings with those of the more conservative American Enterprise Institute. The paper also examines whether the Commission's final product was worth three years of study and $17 million. Our overall finding is that the Commission's report appears to have had little or no policy impact. The research did little to expand upon similar studies done prior to 1977, and cannot be said to be worth three years and $17 million. However, policy-makers still regard the report as a useful and credible examination of the effects of the mini- mum wage on the economy
