John Wiley and Sons, Inc. and Fisher Investments Announce the Creation of Fisher Investments Press

    10 Roads to Riches by Ken Fisher Will Be the Launch of the New
                         Imprint for Fall 2008
HOBOKEN, N.J. & WOODSIDE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb), and Fisher
Investments, today announced the launch of Fisher Investments Press.
The new publishing imprint will draw on the expertise of Fisher
Investments and best-selling author Ken Fisher to offer investing
advice and education for a wide audience. Cutting edge initiatives
such as this have propelled Wiley to the forefront of business
publishing. Wiley, known for successful brand publishing that includes
the For Dummies(R) and Frommer's(R) series, will work with the Fisher
Investments team to create a distinctive brand identity.

   In 2007, Wiley published Ken Fisher's most recent best-selling
investment book, The Only Three Questions That Count: Investing by
Knowing What Others Don't. "The money management expertise of Fisher
Investments paired with Ken Fisher's track record in financial
journalism makes for a powerful combination to launch a business
imprint," said Joan O'Neil, Vice President and Executive Publisher.

   The first Fisher Investments Press title, 10 Roads to Riches by
Ken Fisher, is slated for publication in 2008 and focuses on various
methods of wealth accumulation, from old-fashioned saving to
inheritance and business enterprise. The book is filled with career
and lifestyle advice interspersed with compelling and real-world
examples of successes and failures.

   "Our goal in partnering with Wiley to create Fisher Investments
Press is to reach a wide and diverse investment audience. Wiley's
broad and proven distribution networks, as well as our past positive
experiences with the firm made the company an ideal partner for this
initiative," said Ken Fisher. "Working together, we've developed an
investment series that can offer insight to the full spectrum of
investors, from novices to professionals."

   Subsequent titles scheduled for release in 2008 include Globalize
Your Portfolio for the 21st Century and Bear Hunting: How to Spot and
Slay the Next Bear Market all written by the Fisher Investments
experts. For additional information, please visit www.wiley.com or

Agency LLC.

independent money management firm with over $45 billion assets under
