Of the original manuscript, perhaps (and would that old file still be readable?). But the finished, edited, proofed, and published book?
Probably not. Book publishing didn't really start going digital until, what, the 1990s? So it's possible that a lot of his early work had to be scanned before it could be released digitally.
