                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED
         CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      JANUARY 31, 1995

1.In  the  opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
  condensed  consolidated financial statements  contain  all
  adjustments,   consisting   only   of   normal   recurring
  adjustments,  necessary to present  fairly  the  Company's
  consolidated  financial position as of  January  31,  1995
  and  April  30, 1994, and results of operations  and  cash
  flows  for  the periods ended January 31, 1995  and  1994.
  These  statements should be read in conjunction  with  the
  most recent audited financial statements contained in  the
  Company's  Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  April  30,
  1994.

2.The  results  for the nine months ended January  31,  1995
  are  not  necessarily  indicative of  the  results  to  be
  expected for the full year.  Certain prior period  amounts
  have  been reclassified to conform to the current period's
  presentation.

3.Income  per share is determined by dividing income by  the
  weighted  average number of common shares outstanding  and
  common   stock  equivalents  resulting  from  the  assumed
  exercise  of outstanding dilutive stock options and  other
  stock  awards, less shares assumed to be repurchased  with
  the  related proceeds at the average market price for  the
  period  for primary earnings per share, and at the  higher
  of  the  average or end of period market price  for  fully
  diluted earnings per share.

4.Inventories were as follows:
                          January 31, 1995      April 30, 1994
                                       (Thousands)

     Work-in-process             5,772               6,795
     Paper, cloth and other      5,347               1,539

     LIFO reserve               (3,679)             (2,589)
                               --------            -------- 
     Total inventories         $37,555             $37,281
                               ========            ========

5.Net  income for the third quarter of the prior fiscal year
  included  an  unusual charge of $1.9 million  pre-tax,  or
  $1.1   million  after  taxes,  equal  to  $.13  per  share
  relating  primarily to the restructuring and consolidation
  of   certain   distribution  and  information   technology
  support functions.  Net income for the prior fiscal  year-
  to-date  also  includes an unusual gain  recorded  in  the
  second  quarter of $2.1 million pre-tax, or  $1.3  million
  after  taxes, equal to $.16 per share, relating  primarily
  to  the  divestiture of the company's Canadian high school
  and  Australian primary school publishing lines.  The  net
  effect  of these unusual items amounted to a gain  of  $.2
  million,  or  $.03 per share in the prior fiscal  year-to-
  date.

          JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
      OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      JANUARY 31, 1995



FINANCIAL CONDITION
  Operating  activities for the first nine months of  fiscal
  1995  provided $55.0 million of cash, or $7.4 million more
  than  the  prior year's comparable period.   The  increase
  was  primarily attributable to higher earnings and journal
  receipts.   The generation of cash during this  period  is
  consistent   with   the   seasonality   of   the   journal
  subscription  receipts cycle which occurs,  for  the  most
  part, in the third quarter of the fiscal year.
  
  Investing   activities  used  $25.6  million  during   the
  current  period,  or  $12.9 million more  than  the  prior
  year.   The increase was primarily due to the $9.2 million
  of  proceeds received in the prior year on the divestiture
  of  certain  publishing  lines as  discussed  in  Note  5.
  Investing  activities  in the current  year  include  $7.4
  million   for   the   following  acquisitions:    Houghton
  Mifflin's  college  engineering  list;  ValuSource,  which
  produces  specialized  business  valuation  software   for
  accountants,  entrepreneurs,  and  corporations;  and  the
  publishing   business  of  Executive   Enterprises,   Inc.
  consisting   of   books,  journals  and  newsletters   for
  environmental  management,  accounting,  law   and   human
  resource professionals.
  
  Financing activities primarily reflect dividends  and  the
  scheduled repayment of long-term debt.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIRD QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995
  Revenues  for  the  third quarter advanced  16%  to  $91.9
  million  compared with $79.5 million in  the  prior  year.
  Operating  income  for  the  current  quarter  was   $10.2
  million,  or  a 40% increase, compared with  $7.3  million
  excluding  the  unusual charge in  the  prior  year.   Net
  income  advanced  42%  for  the  quarter,  excluding   the
  unusual charge.
  
  The  improvement  in  revenues and  operating  income  was
  primarily  attributable  to  strong  performances  in  the
  Company's  professional and trade book lines  and  in  its
  scientific,  technical  and  medical  publishing  program.
  The  college division also reflected improvement over  the
  prior  year as it continued to gain market share.  Revenue
  gains  were also noteworthy in the Company's European  and
  Asian operations.
  
  Cost  of  sales as a percentage of revenues was 35.4%  for
  the  third quarter of the current year compared with 34.5%
  in  the  prior  year,  reflecting increased  paper  costs.
  Operating  expenses as a percentage of revenues  decreased
  from  54.3%  in the prior year to 52.5% primarily  due  to
  the containment of support expenses.
  
  Interest  expense  declined due to the reduction  in  debt
  outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1995
  Revenues  for  the first nine months of fiscal  1995  were
  $251.3 million, or 13% ahead of the $221.8 million in  the
  comparable prior year period.  Operating income was  $26.3
  million, or 34% above the $19.7 million of the prior  year
  period.   Net  income was $15.7 million,  an  increase  of
  $4.3   million,   or  38%  over  the  prior   year.    The
  improvements  in revenues and income for  the  period  are
  attributable to the same factors noted in the  results  of
  operations for the third quarter.
  
  For  the  year-to-date, cost of sales as a  percentage  of
  revenues  was approximately 34% in both years.   Operating
  expenses declined from 55.3% to 54.4% of revenues  due  to
  the containment of support expenses.
  
  The  effective  tax  rate was approximately  38%  in  both
  years.
