                   CADMUS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
                      SALE OF CONSUMER PUBLISHING DIVISION


RICHMOND,  VA, September 30, 1996 -- Cadmus  Communications  Corporation (NASDAQ
NMS: CDMS) announced today the sale of its Cadmus Consumer  Publishing  division
to Landmark Specialty Publications, a division of Landmark Communications,  Inc.
Cadmus  Consumer  Publishing  publishes  price guides for  collectors of sports,
non-sports, and entertainment cards and collectibles.

C. Stephenson Gillispie,  Jr., Cadmus chairman,  president,  and chief executive
officer commented,  "As we pursue our strategy to become the `single best source
for 21st century marketing and  communication  solutions,' it has become evident
that consumer  publishing no longer  remains core to the Cadmus  strategy.  This
transaction  allows  us to focus our  resources  and our  attention  on our core
businesses  and also  generates  cash  which we will use to  reduce  the debt we
incurred when we acquired  Lancaster  Information  Group earlier this year.  The
transaction will not have a material impact on our future  operating  results or
our future growth."

Mr.  Gillispie added, "We have been pleased with the performance of our Consumer
Publishing  division  since its formation in April 1992,  and we are grateful to
the associates  that have made this  performance  possible.  We also are pleased
that Landmark Specialty Publications has purchased the business.  Landmark has a
superb  reputation  not  only  for  sound  operations  management  but  also for
forward-thinking and innovative  strategic guidance.  We could not have picked a
better home for our associates or for our publications than Landmark."
