I did a google search for "R books" and looked at the R in the titles. There is no consistency except it is always an upper case letter. Serif, white R on red: "R for Data Science" and again "R Packages." Given a common author this is a Hadley Wickham style. Sans-serif, black R on cream and a stylistic black R on white: "The art of R programming." Serif, black R on white backgro7und: "R in a Nutshell: A desktop Quick Reference."
And many others The R logo is sans-serif, blue, upper case R over a gray oval. The rules for using that are https://www.r-project.org/logo/. With no legal standing, my thought is that you can use R in any way you like.

He did not say he'd want to use the R logo and there is really nobody saying that "you should". Using the letter 'R' as are regular word (noun) in a title is perfectly fine.
