cuyo/cuya

When there is no preceding noun, is there a way to use cuyo, cuya?

Por ejemplo: Whose book is this?

Can you use cuyo here, or must you resort to "¿De quién es este libro?"

Hola Gerald

No, cuyo can't be used in a question, it needs a preceding noun as you said. 

¿De quién es este libro? is the right way to ask that.
