	This is a list of fractal books as diplayed by the University
of Southern California (free plug) USCINFO/HOMER system.  I have included
ISBN numbers when possible.  I searched for titles previously mentioned in 
this newsgroup and some additional ones that looked like they might be infor-
mative.  If anyone wants to include this in the FAQ or make additions or 
changes, feel free to do so.  At the very bottom of this article I have 
included titles that were mentioned in this newsgroup but did not have a 
listing in USCINFO.  I hope this is providing some info not covered in the
FAQ.
