FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
                            COURIER PRINTING COMPANY

     HOUSTON, TEXAS - March 20, 1998 - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)
today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Courier Printing
Company of Nashville, Tennessee. Courier Printing, a premier commercial printer
in the Nashville market, provides high quality color printing products to
corporate and publishing accounts throughout middle Tennessee. Formed in the
late 1920's as part of a family-owned newspaper group, Courier has evolved into
one of the area's largest commercial printing operations. Terms of the
transaction were not disclosed.

     Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, stated, "We are very pleased that a market and industry leader like
Tommy Bragg and his team of dedicated employees at Courier have joined
Consolidated Graphics. His leadership as President of Courier and Chairman of
the Printing Industry Association of the South, a trade association representing
nearly 500 printers and graphic arts companies in the seven-state southeast
region, is a significant additional benefit to us at Consolidated Graphics.
Courier Printing is a well-managed, successful printing company in a growing
market and we look forward to helping them continue their strong performance."

     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. Upon completion of pending
acquisitions, Consolidated Graphics will have 34 companies with annualized
revenues in excess of $350 million.

This press release contains forward-looking statements which involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties or other factors that could cause actual results to
materially differ from the results, performance or other expectations implied by
these forward-looking statements. Consolidated Graphics' expectations regarding
run-rate revenues assume, among other things, completion of pending
acquisitions, general economic conditions, continued demand for its product, the
availability of raw materials, retention of its key management and operating
personnel, as well as other factors detailed in Consolidated Graphics' filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
