Are there any plans to release a complete book of telesnaps?

You mean information about them or publish the images that exist?
I don't see the point in either. Nothing at the End of the lane #2 has an excellent article on it. Or my website if you want the cheap and nasty version.
The images for everything lost (or affected by being partially lost) are available on the BBC website. Tele-Snaps not published are usually because the episode(s) in question already exist.

To quote Richard Bignell in a recent email;
'Ah, I see. The idea of doing a tele-snaps book has been presented to the BBC several times, but it's never been taken up. They are the ones who would have to do it as the pictures are regarded as being the copyright of the BBC and so it would be prohibitively expensive for anyone else to do it. It cost DWM a fortune to publish the ones they used in the 1990s. Even if the BBC were willing in principle, the end product would still end up being too expensive to do in practice. For just the stories that have missing episodes, to present them in a palatable way for the consumer, properly on gloss paper and tell the story shown in the tele-snaps, you be talking about a publication that would be around 600+ pages or so in length. The interest in the tele-snaps is a fairly niche one that such an expensive publication would be very unlikely to make any profit for BBC Worldwide, so it's not really much of an incentive for them.'
Most are avialable on the BBC website and some are only avaible in back copies of DWM and other publications.
