ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         On January 26, 2000, IDG announced in a press release that it planned
to purchase up to

                                  Page 6 of 12
<PAGE>   7
500,000 shares of IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. common stock, or 3.4 percent of the
current outstanding shares, from time to time at prevailing market prices. IDG
then stated in its press release that at current prices, IDG believed that IDG
Books Worldwide, Inc. shares represented a good value, and so IDG had decided to
increase its holdings.

         IDG, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Enterprises, began
purchasing shares pursuant to this plan on January 27, 2000. Through February
16, 2000, IDG had purchased 179,100 shares in open market transactions. Each of
these purchases and each other transaction in IDG Books Common Stock effected by
the reporting persons during the sixty days preceding the date of this Schedule
13D are listed on Schedule 2 hereto.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         The information for each reporting person contained in Items 5 through
11 of the cover pages of this statement is incorporated by reference. For all of
the reporting persons other than Mr. McGovern, the total of 10,901,516 shares
includes 10,759,849 shares of Class A Common Stock of IDG Books held by
Enterprises, 16,667 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to options held by
IDG and exercisable within 60 days from the date of this report and 125,000
shares of Class B Common Stock of IDG Books held by Enterprises. The Class B
Common Stock entitles the holder to ten votes per share.

         For Mr. McGovern, the total of 10,906,516 shares includes all of the
shares discussed in the foregoing paragraph as well as 5,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock held by Mr. McGovern's wife. Mr. McGovern disclaims beneficial
ownership of these shares.

         For each reporting person, the total number of shares represents
approximately 74.4% of the shares of IDG Books Common Stock deemed outstanding
on February 16, 2000. Because the Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to
ten votes per share, the shares represent approximately 76.2% of the voting
power of IDG Books.

         All transactions in IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. common stock effected by
the reporting persons during the sixty days preceding the date of this Schedule
13D are listed on Schedule 2 hereto.
