I would recommend "Internet Routing Architectures," by Sam Halabi to anyone
planning to delve into BGP.
Quoting from the BGP Bible itself, Page 104, "Instead, the provider can give
the customer an AS number from the private pool of ASs (64512-65535)... as
described in RFC 2270." RFC 2270 actually references RFC 1930 for the
private range:
"
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the
following block of AS numbers for private use (not to be advertised
on the global Internet):
64512 through 65535
"
