Probably the author(s) of the book are unclear in terminology, but regardless, if Villain is the same person as the original caller, then he potraised to $1300 (that's the total amount invested in the hand = $400 invested in total to call Hero's raise + $900 in the pot after that) by $900 ('$900 to go' as you put it).
If Villain is a cold reraiser (not the original limper), the total amount needed to invest into the pot raise size is $1400 ($400 to call Hero's raise + $1000 lying in the pot after this call), so it's a raise to $1400, or $1000 over Hero's raise, or $1300 over the limp (call). Maybe the author(s) meant the latter, which is a strange way to announce a raise.
However, it's strange that the limp amount is equal to the initial pot size. Is the game played with only one blind?
