It’s not what I would usually go for, but one of my favorite colorists purchased this book and I followed. I love the texture of the pages, they are thick and perforated. The artwork is one sided leaving room for all media types. I have used Acrylic paint 🎨 gauche, Posca pen, and various pencils. Water color would hold up well. I am happy with my purchase and am looking forward to purchasing more work from this artist-love the quality of the book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved It!!! *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019* This book has one of the thickest papers I have seen in adult coloring books, printed one side only, with a very nice cover. The illustrations are detailed but not that small to be tedious. The theme is so amusing and a great change from the typical faeries and whimsical coloring books. Overall, I loved it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun coloring book to color but not enough emphasis on steam power to be truly Steampunk – printed one side of the page *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017* The media could not be loaded.  I really liked the designs in this coloring book – and so did my husband. I purchased a second copy so we would not have to share!The coloring book is not really so much Steampunk (which puts emphasis on steam powered machines, etc. with steam being the power of choice rather than gas or electricity.) It is something more like Lightbulb Punk – perhaps a new genre where electric light bulbs power everything. In any case, the designs are an interesting and new twist and will be fun to color.The book is kind graphic novel as it tells the story of looking for the Lightbulb Burglar. It might have been nice to have had a little bit of the story written on the back of the page as some of it was a little hard to follow. This is a small nit as the vast majority of my coloring books don't have a narrative to follow.The designs are very well drawn and the paper used is excellent. While the designs are detailed, I don't consider them intricate or difficult to color.This is what I found while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring medium.48 Designs inspired by (but not really part of) Steampunk about the search for a lightbulb burglarPrinted on one side of the pagePaper is heavy weight, white, slightly rough and perforatedSewn BindingThe designs stop short of the perforations so you can remove pages without loss of the designs themselves.Alcohol-based markers bleed through this paper. I use a blotter page of card stock or a couple of sheets of heavy weight paper under my working sheet with this book. It will keep ink from seeping through to the next page. You can also simply remove the page at the perforations before coloring.Water-based markers, gel pens, and India ink pens did not bleed through the paper but did leave slight shadows on the back of the page.Colored pencils worked really well with the paper. The slightly rough texture of the paper provided good tooth which allowed pigment to easily adhere to the page. I tested both oil and wax based pencils and both worked well. I could layer the same color for deeper pigment, layer multiple colors and blend easily using a pencil style blender stick. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/41919775-the-search-for-the-lightbulb-burglar-a-steampunk-coloring-book](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/41919775-the-search-for-the-lightbulb-burglar-a-steampunk-coloring-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
