There's a chapter (5) online here: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/business/features/garg5/

quoted:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

...the Route 66 ARG will be divided into two major chapters, with Chapter 8 being an analysis/wrap-up of how the game might be played and its mystery solved if it were a real ARG. ... it should be noted that in an effort to move things along, each chapter will, to some degree, "give away" the answer to a particular puzzle or turning point in the ARG. I will be sure to note each of these with a "spoiler alert" as I have done in earlier chapters.
...the "Route 66" sample ARG will, however, ask you to interact with a Web site (described later). And if you "successfully interact" with this site (that is, successfully guess a username and password to access the site), you will not only solve the puzzle of the ARG but�just maybe!�be presented with an award for all your hard work,

Reviewed at ARGN.

Quote:

This book will not go down in history as the definitive guide for Alternate Reality Gaming, but it does a very good job of making ARG more accessible for the new player. Gosney, who has previously written books on blogging and VHS conversion, does well to explain ARG to a wider audience, specifically game designers. It will be an excellent resource to students learning about game design, and hopefully will spawn a new generation of ARG Puppetmasters in the future.
