As the Springer site says, August 2008. The manuscript was only submitted 
February 29, which we hope is an auspicious day (R 1.0.0 was released on 
February 29, 2000). Perhaps some of the course materials from the Imperial 
College course, or Edzer Pebesma's e-seminar, both listed on the Rgeo 
website:

(old) news points 5 and 8 repsectively, may help in the interim?

Without this community, there would not have been any book; we (we are 
three - Edzer Pebesma, Virgilio Gómez-Rubio, and myself) hope that it will 
prove useful when it is ready.
