Hello Graphics-power users:

    Many of you pointed me to "The Science of Fractal Images". Yesterday,
I went to my local university library at Gallaudet University. I searched
data in Library's computer and found it that called "Fractal" by B.
Mandelbrot. I took a printout from computer and went to book shelf sections.
I found it. Last, I examined it. Finally, I was suprised that book was
pointless. I did not understand that book explains. It had no alogrithms
in the box area but explains alogrithm in English. I still did not understand
that eassy explains. I left the book alone.. I complaint that books which
explains alogrithms, should show the raw alogrithm code in box area but
*NOT* in English!! The book was very confused! I can understand the raw
alogrithm code clearly, but not english.

    Well, What is features and summary of "The Science of Fractal Images"
by Peitgen and Saute? I will not buy pointless books unless you recommend
me that. I went to Ballston last minute and I unable locate that book.
Then, I asked salesman for that book. The salesman looked item in his
catalogue and found it. He said me that it costs $34.00. I thanks to him
for more information about cost. I will consider to purchase it after
you explain me that summary of "The Science of Fractal Images". I have
that questions for you:

         Is the real alogrithm code in that book?
         (Not english-like alogrithm, Just Pascal-like alogrithm.)

         Has it colorful images?

         How many pages does it have?

Thanks for your replies.
