It sounds safe to me.  I doubt they have eBooks back that far.

Actually, I do think that it is one of the less likely Penguin books to be
replaced. It was published in 1987 and it is very obscure. When I added it
to my currently reading list at Good Reads I noticed that only one Good
Reads user had ever read it. Still, though, at a rate of over a thousand
books a day it would not surprise me if it entered the collection at any
time. Until it does, though, I suppose I will keep right on working on it.
