Hello!
Book by Pinheiro and Bates is being repeatedly suggested in connection
with lme() from nlme package. Is this book also suggested for a
reference use with lmer in lme4 package?

Well, not if you are interested in lmer() syntax. The book is good with
the conceptual issues in modeling the data, but does not include any
reference to fitting models with lmer.
