FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                       CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS, INC. ANNOUNCES
                           NEW EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

     HOUSTON, TEXAS - September 29, 1997 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc.
(NYSE/CGX) announced today the following new executive vice president positions-
changes made necessary by the Company's rapid growth and plans for continued
expansion:  

               G. Christopher Colville       Mergers & Acquisitions
               Harold E. Gaubert, Jr.        Finance & Administration
               Scott L. Fordham              Operations
               Dennis L. Rampe               Operations

     Commenting on the changes, Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer said:  "These changes put in place the management infrastructure needed
to continue our growth.  Chris Colville will now focus exclusively on
acquisitions due to the increased momentum of our acquisition program and the
number of printing companies with which we are actively negotiating.  Adding
Harold Gaubert as Executive Vice President - Finance & Administration,
strengthens our financial group and enables us to commit greater resources to
our acquisition program."

     Davis added, "Naming Scott Fordham and Dennis Rampe to the position of
Executive Vice President - Operations, formalizes their leadership positions
within our organization.  Scott Fordham, President of Chas. P. Young Company in
Houston and Dennis Rampe, President of Precision Litho in San Diego, will
continue in their current roles, leading two of our operating companies.  In
their new capacity, they will work closely with certain of our other company
presidents on ways to better serve customers, improve operations and further
increase profitability."

     Of the four individuals named as executive vice presidents, only Harold
Gaubert is new to the company.  Mr. Gaubert brings 25 years of financial
experience, which includes serving as Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
and Treasurer of a New York Stock Exchange company as well as experience with a
national public accounting firm.  

     Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is the fastest growing printing company in the
United States.  A consolidator in a highly fragmented industry, the Company adds
value to its acquisitions through managerial and operational expertise,
financial strength and economies of scale.
