Books

Both of these books are available online, and maybe even in your local library. They have been around a long time, and are still fantastic sources on IFS theory and other topics in fractal geometry.

Using IFS Tools to create what you have seen

All the fractals in Eric Green's webpages are described in Chaos and Fractals: New Frontiers of Science. Of course, the fern is also described in Barnsley's Fractals Everywhere. And most of the fractals in Larry Riddle's and Cynthia Lanius' webpages are also described in these two books. Better yet, almost all the fractals you see in their webpages can be constructed using either IFS Freestyle or IFS Linear!
