Yes, you can. If you believe you have a book of particular historical importance, a very rare book, or a book that you think is worth a lot of money - then you should have it appraised.  Once you have done this, you can have the book included in an auction lot. This is likely to be Sotheby’s or a similar auction house. Be sure you go through the correct process though so you are not cheated out of any potential earnings!
