UNITED STATES

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Washington, D.C. 20549

SCHEDULE 13G

Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(Amendment No. )*

John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

(Name of Issuer)

Class A common stock par value $1.00 per share

Class B common stock par value $1.00 per share

(Title of Class of Securities)

968223206 and 968223305 (CUSIP Number)

Sales of Class A stock between the dates of April 17, 2002 and August 19, 2002

(Date of Event Which Requires Filing of this Statement)

Check the appropriate box to designate the rule pursuant to which this Schedule is filed:

¨ Rule 13d-1(b)

¨ Rule 13d-1(c)

x Rule 13d-1(d)

  • The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Please take note that the 13G statement filed in December, 2001 had certain inaccuracies. These inaccuracies arose from the receipt of inaccurate information furnished to the filers by the firm which holds all of these shares fro their benefit. Additionally it was based on probably erroneous information as to the number of outstanding shares of each class at the time of that filing. The total number of shares owned by all of the Cross entities and Cross family members was incorrectly stated as 2,686,704, or 5.4% of the outstanding Class A shares and 1,227,968, or 10.5% of the outstanding Class B shares. The correct figures, as best as can be determined at this time, were 2,713,704, or 5.4% of the outstanding Class A shares and 1,251,968, or 10.75% of the outstanding class B shares.
