The general aim of this research is to explain the construction of the visual language of the testimonial book-objects produced by Peruvian artists in the last decade. For this reason, differentiating characteristics of the book-object were proposed in order to identify them and analyse them in the exhibition. As a starting point for this research, the resurgence of the practice of this medium in Peru in the last decade and the lack of research in the field were taken as a starting point. It was hypothesised that Peruvian testimonial book-objects frequently use artisanal methods, worked in the country, either as a legacy or as a result of cultural exchange. In addition, this type of support in the country does not deviate from the main characteristics of a traditional printed book, which is why we see the recurrent use of typographic fusion, photographs and illustrations. Thus, an analysis was made of five books that meet the identified characteristics, the year of publication and the literary genre. The research will have a maximum scope of descriptive character, cross-sectional and non-experimental design, as it will analyse a specific phenomenon of the book-object after its publication and focused on a specific decade. The sample for the analysis was non-probabilistic and consisted of 5 book-objects. In which, using the necessary tools, the graphic resources present were identified and analysed. In this way it was possible to determine how the construction of the visual language of the Peruvian testimonial book-object was formulated, explained in three main influential factors: graphic resources, the materiality of the support, and the proximity of the author to testimonial supports. Finally, it can be said that there are characteristics typical of the visual language of the Peruvian book-object, such as: the constant use of the typographic element manipulated or transformed as a visual element, the recurrent use of illustrations or photographs and the craftsmanship.
