                 CONSOLIDATED GRAPHICS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
                    BRIDGETOWN PRINTING OF PORTLAND, OREGON

     HOUSTON, TX (June 19, 1996) - Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (Nasdaq/NM:COGI)
today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Bridgetown Printing Co.
of Portland, Oregon. Bridgetown Printing has served the area since 1902 and is
one of the largest commercial printers in Portland. It provides sheet-fed
printing services to a wide variety of businesses on four presses with up to
six-color capability. The company will continue to operate under its current
name and existing management.

     Commenting on the announcement, Joe R. Davis, chairman and chief executive
officer of Consolidated Graphics, Inc., said, "Bridgetown Printing's excellent
reputation for quality craftsmanship is supported by its full range of presses.
Its highly capable workforce is headed by Ron Brown, president, and Kathy
Hanson, vice president-sales and marketing. Like our other companies, they are
committed to providing outstanding service to their more than 300 customers.
Bridgetown has substantial growth potential, and we are committed to expanding
its customer service capabilities.

     "The Bridgetown transaction is our first acquistion to close in fiscal
1997. This important acquisition represents our second entry into the Pacific
Northwest and our first into Portland. These companies provide us with a solid
presence in this vibrant, growing region."

     Consolidated Graphics, Inc. is one of the fastest growing printing
companies in the United States. It is a consolidator in a fragmented industry
that adds value to its acquisitions by providing the financial and operational
strengths, management support and technological advantages associated with a
larger organization. With the completion of the acquisitions of Garner Printing
and Eagle Press, Consolidated Graphics will operate printing companies in a
total of eleven markets: Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Houston, Phoenix, Portland,
Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego, Seattle and Tulsa.
