An R Language Manual is planned, but is making slow progress.

You will need a little patience.  It has been available in the US for about
10 days, and will unfortunately take a while to ship to Australasia (or
Europe or Asia or ...).  The only quicker way out is to order from the US
direct.  As Bill Venables will attest, the world has shrunk electronically
recently, but not as far as publishers are concerned.

[The book is indeed about advanced R programming: it treats R as one of
three dialects of the S language.]
