Please read a bit more carefully. At the top of page 96, the first item
of the itemized list says:
A ... \verb command may not appear within the argument of any
other command.
You are within the argument of \framebox.
Even if you got around this, I think you'd find putting a minipage in a frame-
box doesnt' work properly anyway. Trying using the boxedminipage style file
and environment, available from a LaTeX archive site near you (if your system
doesn't already have a copy). (And even if it does, I suppose. :-) )
