     Houston, Texas - January 13, 1999 - Consolidated Graphics announced today
the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Wentworth Printing Corp. of
Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1963, Wentworth is a full-service

Carolina. James Doar, President of Wentworth, will remain with the company upon
completion of the transaction. Other terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.

     Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated
Graphics, commented, "Wentworth Printing has remained dedicated to the
principles that have made it successful -- superior service and quality. James
Doar and the highly skilled employees of Wentworth take pride in meeting client
needs using innovation and technology. They are a welcome addition to
Consolidated Graphics."

     James Doar commented, "Wentworth has served the South Carolina market for
over 35 years, providing our customers with excellent service and a high-quality
product. These efforts will continue and improve with the considerable resources
and support of Consolidated Graphics."

     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 52 companies with annualized
revenues in excess of $600 million.
